Miniscribe 6053.  Lovely machine, beautifully built.  I've used one on
an ACB2020 for 2 years without developing a single bad sector.  As an
added bonus, try to get your dealer to let you try a Miniscribe 6032,
but *try formatting it as a 6053*, i.e. with 5 heads not 3: some of
the 6032 are just relabeled 6053s.  Mine was.

These drives are discontinued now, so good deals can be found.
