I am considering purchasing an 80386 machine with the
idea of running 386 Xenix on it.
I am also considering the installation of an ESDI hard
disk into this unit.
What I would like to know is if anyone can give me some
help in selecting a good controller card for this purpose.
I would like to buy a Western Digital controller, mainly
because I think they are a good quality product. Could
someone who has had experience in this topic please
advise me as to what model of WD controller I should use
for use under Xenix and on a machine that does not support
the ESDI drive in it BIOS. I have heard there are some
controllers that will do a type of conversion if the
machine doesn't support an ESDI drive. I will be using a
Control Data ESDI drive, around the 100 to 200 MegaByte.
