Please help me make some decisions about the purchase of a proper
harddrive for the Amiga/SideCar.  If you have any info which would
help to make my purchase as painless as possible please mail me
what you know.

I know NOTHING about harddrives and have read everything the 
Sidecar manual has about it.  Apparently - I need to buy a HARDCARD
and cannot use more than 20Mb.

I want to partition off 1/2 for the Amiga and the rest for the 
IBM side.  

Is there a brand that I should go with in particular.  

What is the RLL and the other 'strange' letters after the Harddrives.

What about 8 bit, 16 bit, etc.

Thanks for any help you might be able to lend me.

Mike
