Myers) Newsgroups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware Subject: ESDI controller and MiniScribe Hard Disk Keywords: ESDI CONTROLLER MINISCRIBE HARD DISK Message-ID: Date: 6 Oct 90 21:40:15 GMT Distribution: usa Organization: Rutgers University Lines: 24 I need some advice. I have a NCL America ESDI controller card (Model 5355) and a MiniScribe 9380E 300MB Hard Disk. I worked with this combination about 3 hours straight before I gave in and decided to call NCL tech support. They asked me what drive do I have and I told them. The response was "Problem solved...Our controller doesn't work with MiniScribe drives". More like problem defined but not solved. Well needless to say I was not very happy about this response. The advice I need is before I sink some more cash into another controller can anyone tell me what controllers do work with this drive. Thanx in advance. srm -- Scott R.
