Of particular interest are the Digital RD53 (Micropolis 1325) and the Digital RD54 (Maxstor XT-2190), which hold 73 Mbytes and 154 Mbytes respectively. If you buy the non-Digital disks, you will need to locate some base plates somewhere. If the drives that you are using are not formatted for an RQDX3, you can format them using either the console diagnostics on a VS2000 or MV2000, or using a software utility on the MVII, if you have access to it. I hope that the above information is helpful.
