I am planning to upgrade my machine a bit - remove the 100MByte ESDI disk
I currently have, and installing a 600-700MByte SCSI disk instead.

The disk which I am currently considering is from Microscience, (type
FH4777, capacity 643 Mbytes, I think), although it appears to be manufactured
by Siemens - does anybody have any expperience of this disk ?

My question is - which controller should I get ?  I am considering controllers
from Adaptec and Future Domain, but am having a problem deciding.

Somebody out there must have done something similar....so if you have any
experience (good or bad) with this disk or any reason for recommending the
controllers from one of the companies rather than the other one, I would
appreciate hearing from you.

Just send me the replies - don't post, I will post a summary if there is
any interest.
