Hello:
I am very new to the UnixPC, and am in need of a hard disk. What I am looking
for is a disk in the 40 - 100 Mb range. I can make due with new or used, as
long as it is in good working order.
Particulars:
It is my understanding that I need an MFM disk, or one that
follows the ST506 standard. I am not dead positive on this, but
have been lead to believe that to be true.
I would prefer a disk that has 15 heads or less, and 1024 cylinders
or less.... but I could get the new controller chip and make use of
a disk with greater than 15 heads and 1024 cylinders.
I am willing to pay any *Reasonable* price for a suitable disk. This
machine is my entry into the Unix world, and I want it to basically
be a News machine, and do electronic mail.
Any advice, pointers, info on disks is appreciated. In fact, any NICE comments
are welcomed.
Thanks,
Keith
