Message-ID: <13310@sybase.sybase.com> Date: 15 Jun 91 00:06:20 GMT Sender: news@Sybase.COM Reply-To: shawr@tachi.sybase.com () Organization: Sybase, Inc. Lines: 19 Hello, I just bought a 200M IDE drive and controler card for my 386sx. I have three questions that hope someone can answer. Question #1: Can ST506 (MFM) drive co-exist with IDE drive? Question #2: Where I can get the program to measure the disk I/O rate and the benchmark of my system. Prefer from ftp site. Question #3: Any recommendation for the IDE controlers? Thank you in advance. rich Richung Shaw Sybase, Inc. shawr@sybase.com 6475 Christie Ave. (415) 596-3359 Emeryville, CA 94608
