Well, I can tell you about the Overdrive paired with an ST157N (~50M).
It performed really well in the time that I had it.  I had one in my now
dead B2000.  Before it (the 2000) went POP I was enjoying it very much.
Keep in mind that I'm easy to please, but I thought that it performed
smoothly, and was pretty fast.  After hearing all the talk on the net
about how slow DOS 1.2 is with hard disks, I wasn't expecting much in
the way of speed.  If this is slow, I can't *wait* to see FFS!

However, since I only had mine a few days before my 2000 died, and I
haven't determined if the Overdrive had anything to do with said death,
I may not be the best one to talk about it.  A friend of mine here at
Clemson is running the same setup.  Perhaps he'll comment.  Robert?
