I have a 286 12Mhz that (although it's outdated by most standards) still works fine for me. Since I only have a 70 Meg HD now, I plan on adding another in the available half-height slot. My existing HD has a 28 ms access time and is RLL (ugh!) interfaced. So far my choices seem to be: Seagate ST277R-1 RLL 28ms 5.25" HH 60 Meg approx. $219 Microsci HH1120 " " " " 120 Meg " $390 I've heard good reports about Seagate but not much (pro or con) about Micro Science. Can anyone offer me either past experience with either of these two drives or perhaps point me to any other possibilities I might have overlooked (yes - I use 'pklite' and might soon implement 'stacker' but I'd still like to add more physical disk space anyway to bring the hardware up to "reasonable") Thanks for any advice (direct E'mail OK since this is probably not among the most common issues for general discussion).
