   I am trying to buy a hard drive for my AT bridgeboard.  I have tried a
ESDI controller & drive, and it didn't work.  I am look at 3.5" CONNER drive
with a "AT TASK controller".  I never heard of that type of controller 
before, but it comes with the drive and the salesman told me a lot of 
good thing about it.  Have anybody try it before?  Does it work with
the AT bridgeboard?  If not, what do you have (MFM, RLL, or SCSI)?  I am
primary looking at a 3.5" type of drive with 40M, what would you recommend?

Just out of curosity.  Anybody have any idea why my ESDI controller & drive
didn't work?  Isn't the AT bus suppose to 100% AT compatible?  Anyone from
Commodore have any clue?
