About instaling a Seagate ST251-1 in a AT&T 6300.

A AT&T 6300 is the same computer as a Olivetti M24 witch i have one of.
with a ST251-1 28 ms.

Advice:
You can not get more preformens from a XT computer (AT&T 6300), than about 
40 in harddisk access time. 
If you is thinking of using harddisks with more speed bye a AT or a 386.
If you insist of installing a ST251-1, witch I have done, You most be soure
that you not is gettingmore speed out of the harddisk, than if you have 
bord a ST251-0 40ms.
About controler:
Use the western digital inside the computer if it is the 1/2 or 1/4 length
model, and then use the controler in the Bios and not on the harddisk 
controler. If you not is having a Bios with the New Harddisk's arsk you
dealer, and if he not is having one I can be helpful to You.
