    What I would like to see is a list of ALL the SCSI drives that will
    work.  I know the Seagate N drives work fine.  What other drives are
    in use?

I just put together a system with an Adaptec 4000A and a Maxtor 1140.
Comes to 119.85Mb, formatted.  A word of caution though; the ICD doc
says that the shielding plate between controller and drive isn't
necessary for MFM drives, just recommended.  A good recommendation, in
this case, as it doesn't work reliably without it.  With the shield in
place, it works like a charm.
