I've heard from various sources that one must be careful about setting up a
Novell file server on an IDE drive, and in particular, certain IDE drives 
should be avoided entirely.

We are presently in need of setting up a Novell system using
SFT Netware 2.15c on a 386-25 clone, and because of financial constraints,
would like to use one of:

1)	Seagate 1102-A IDE drive
2)	Conner CP-3184 IDE drive
3)	Quantum QT80-AT IDE drive

Can anyone comment which of these drives is most preferable, or whether
we should even be considering an IDE drive at all.

Much appreciated...... Mark and Brian
