 July 1988 Byte magazine did a review of 40meg AT drives (40ms or less)
 and the ST251 came in with a fair marking. Coretest (ver. 2.8) said
 the same thing. I am running unix (minix) on my st251, not a good idea.
 Disk intensive OS's or development will put a lot of wear into the
 stepper motor. I am going to add an st4051 which is a 40meg, voice
 coil (40ms) for the same price.  So far, so good at 8 months of use.
