I'm considering getting a larger HD for my Rainbow. I have the standard
10meg drive that DEC sold with it. Can someone tell me what the Rainbow HD
controller is similar to in terms of IBM controller. Most places I see
selling HD's list them under MFM, RLL, SCSI, etc... While I'm on the
subject what is the limitation of the controller. Is 67meg that maximum it
can address at once?

Also I heard a rumor that there was a 3rd party company awhile back that
made a controller card that supported 2 HD drives. Is this true?
