A while ago there were requests on information about large
(> 100 Meg) hard disks compatible with the Amiga.

The last issue of InfoWorld (March 7, 1988) features a "Product
Comparison" of a number of such disks compatible with the IBM and
Macintosh.  This includes ST506/MFM, ST506/RLL, ESDI, and SCSI disks.
Some of them should be compatible with the current Amiga controllers
(ST506/MFM and SCSI).

These are AT-compatible [not clear whether half-height or full-height,
the latter ones not Amiga-compatible]:

CMS Enhancements F120 AT-P	ST506
Micropolis 1375 PC Pak		SCSI
Storage Dimentions AT120	ST506
Storage Dimentions AT115	SCSI

These are Mac-compatible, either half-height internal drives or
external drives [which one could connect to the A2090 external
SCSI connector].

Bering Totem			SCSI
CMS Enhancements SD140K		SCSI
Jasmine Direct Drive 160	SCSI
Rodime 100 Plus			SCSI
Rodime 140 Plus			SCSI
Supermac Dataframe XP150	SCSI

The article also quickly covers "bigger" drives (300M and up), and gives
an introduction to the various interfaces (ST506/MFM/RLL/ESDI/SCSI) if
you hadn't heard enough of it :-)
