I have just read the last rites to a 1987 vintage HD20 SC disk drive. It seems
as though the disk+controller has moved on to another astral plane, but psu etc
is still OK. And, yes, we had it all backed up !!! :-)

So, question: Could I take a modern, 110Mb drive + controller and plug it in,

where the old used to be. This might be a cheaper option than buying a new
external disk, but I just don't have the knowledge to take the risk!

Please help, and thanks in advance.
