Craig Votava (att!ihlpm!cmv) used to maintain the list.  I have a
*very* old copy, if you want it.

I also thought that the OSU archives had a copy of this list.
Realistically speaking, any standard MFM will work.  Any drive from
the lowly Seagate ST-506 to the huge Maxtor XT-2190 will work,
although some need minor motherboard surgery to handle the increased
number of heads.
