Earlier there was discussion about the Seagate ST1144A
hard drive; I'd like to get mail from people who have actually
installed Coherent on one.  Is there any special installation
procedure which is different than other hard drives? any problems
with using an 1144A?

I'm also thinking of buying a Conner CP30104 (instead of the 1144)
and would like the same information from anyone who has installed
Coherent on one of these.

Last of all (but perhaps most important), I've heard that using IDE
drives may be a little trouble (only the factory does any low-level
formatting(?)).  Will I be able to change the Coherent partition 
back to DOS if I'm so inclined?

If these are questions others would like answered too, then
I will post a follow-up article with info that I receive.

Thanks!			Scott
