    I am considering the purchase of a 386 machine and I have been
offered an IDE drive made by Rodime as an alternative to the presently
hard to get Conners 100 Meg IDE drive. The Rodime drive is a
(I think) 100 Meg drive with a 64k byte cache. Has anybody had
experience with this drive or others made by this manufacturer?
Are there any problems I should know about using it with either
XENIX or UNIX (any flavor, I haven't bought yet) on a 386 machine?
Any other hard drives that anyone would care to recommend?

Please reply by mail, I will summarize if there is interest.


Thanks,

Eric Schenk
