I though I'd respond to both of these items while I'm at it.  I have a 
Taxan 640 (630 will look just as good) on my 6300 and it is the most
beautiful text I've ever seen on a PC.  But the 640, 635, & 630 are only
640x400 (<720x400 for 640) monitors and won't work at other speeds.  So
if you plan to upgrade later, get a multisync-type monitor now.  Unless
you want poorer quality text, don't get the EGA now.  Wait a few months
for the next generation (I know, one can always wait for the next stuff
but I recommend it strongly now) of video cards.  There will be new high
speed multisync monitors announced at Comdex this spring also.

On the 30 Meg. drive question, I put a Seagate ST-238 with an Adaptec
2070A 2,7 RLL controller in my machine and had absolutely no problems.
I use PC-DOS 3.1 and I have ROMs v1.21.  The Adaptec comes with complete
low level formatting instructions.  There should be no reason why you
can't get 30 Megs with 1.21 ROMs.  I thought the Seagate 4051 was a full
height drive.  Is it in an external box?  Are the signals clean?

My question is, is there a way to hang a 1.2 Meg floppy on the 6300's
built in controller?

Jeff
