In message 11773, Anant Mithal asked about mixing a MFM with a SCSI hard 
disk.  I have a similar question.  While I was calling around about hard 
disks to upgrade my system so that I can run Win. Applications, I was 
informed that you couldn't mix an MFM with any other type of hard disk.  I went
ahead and purchased a 120 MB IDE drive.  My MFM (Seagate 20 MB) is/was a very
nice hard disk with little/no problems the last few years.  I would like to be
able to use the 20MB as a scratch disk/temp disk.  
	What I would like to know is, are these "informed" sales reps really 
correct when they say that I basically can't use my MFM with an IDE.  Any
information would be appreciated.  Thanks.
