  Does anyone have information on the Maxtor 1140? I believe its a
170meg, 28ms full height drive. The one I'm looking at has it's own
controller with a standard IBM interface. I believe it was purchased
around 1985.
  In particular:
     Are these drives dependable, even when 4 years old?
     Are they actually 170megs @ 28ms?
     What is a good price to pay for one?
     Are there any peculiarities I might look for in this drive or in
       drive this size?
     What is the power consumption of the 1140?
 
  Thanks in advance,
         Roger Marquis  (marquis@ucbqal.bitnet)
