Are you aware the WD has an enhanced EGA, offering 640x480? And it's
only $550, quantity one, with no memory (but prices have been coming
down lately).

I've been testing a WD286 lately and was planning on posting my
findings.  Just yesterday I did some disk transfer speed measurements
with spinrite. 520 Kbytes/sec with an ST-506 drive! That's got to be
close to the limit.
