Summary:Can I use a DTC controller
Sender:Nathaniel Beck, Dept. of Pol. Sci.

Thanks for all the help of this group in teaching me about
interleaving. I hope you can all be as helpful on this one.

Seagate has just put out a 40M 28ms drive entitled the 251A. It is
supposed to be spiffier than the 251. Does anyone know anything
about the 251 running in a 6300?

Second, my dealer tells me I need a new controller (a Western
Digital WX). I have a DTC controller from my current ST225 (no model
number on the controller that I can discern, but it is dated late
1985). Can I use the DTC controller with the 251A and save about
$100. Is the DTC controller in any way inferior to the WD
controller.

Thanks in advance

Neal Beck
