I am planning to purchase a 386 system. I have few question on the
harddisk controller card and display.
1. What is IDE contoller? how does it compare with MFM, SCSI and others?
Can I use MFM disk on that controller? And Can SCO-UNIX run with this
controller?
2. How is SONY 1304 monitor, in comparison with NEC 3D? I heared it is a
in non-interlace mode, when it is in 1024x700 mode. Can I use ATI VGA
wonder card for it?}i

Thanks,
Paul
