I am considering purchasing a hard disk for my Z80 S100 bus system, and
have settled on a controller (the Advanced Digital HDC 1001) which can
interface to any ST506 5 1/4" drive or any SA1000 type 8" drive.  I would
like to buy a drive with average seek time of 30 to 40 ms. (or better), and
capacity of at least 20Mb formatted.  Anybody have any experience or
specific suggestions?  I was thinking about a Maxtor 65Mb drive, and believe
I can get one for less than $2100.  Anything better out there?  Thanks ....
