I need to buy a harddrive for my new computer (386/25).  I was wondering what
suggestions (or facts) about the various types (SCSI,ESDI,RLL,MFM,...).

Here is what I have so far:
- I do not want an IDE drive.
- I cannot afford an ESDI drive. :-(

SCSI has been the *standard* (used loosely) for a while, but I am open to any
type of drive (obviously I am looking for fastest access & throughput).

Any information would help.

Thank-you very much for you help,
Rob
