I am using an Adaptec ABC-237x controller with a Miniscribe 3675.  The
controller is RLL and permits 1:1 interleavine of the drive which
allows about 800K/sec throughput.  This is approximately the
throughput that your are looking for and it operates in a standard AT
bus.  We payed about $675 for the combination through a local dealer.
Note that the Miniscribe 3675 is a 70ms access time drive, but
throughput is the real test.  If you are using something disk
intensive, you might look for something with a better access time.
