(1) these drives are specially for PS/2 model 60 and 80, but will work
    with any ESDI controller

High transfer rate (54 sector/track) drives, need >= 15MHz controller:

$1,150   Micropolis     1568-15      645  5.25" FH   16     150 
$1,200   Core           HC310        322  5.25" HH   18     100    (3)

(2) these drives are specially for Compaq, but will work with any high
    speed controller

(3) this is a high performance model, with 20MHz MCA controller included

note about MTBF (mean time between failure) ratings: there are only 8760
hrs/year so 40,000 hrs is around 4.5 years

I have a limited quantity of the following accessories, so I'm unbundling
them. They are available with purchase of a drive only:

  $120  Ultrastor 12F(Hard & floppy, 32K cache, 24MHz) controller
    $5  Drive rails (regular or Compaq), power cable, ESDI cable
   $20  Disk formatting software, Ontrack or Storage Dimensions

Terms: cash, cashier's check, COD. Buyer pays shipping. All drives are
guaranteed to work.

Tape drives of various capacities also available, watch this space.

Note: Due to overwhelming response to my previous posting (SCSI drives)
I'm starting the following sales policy: I'll take the highest offer
received within 48 hrs of the first response. This is to allow everyone
to have a chance to read and respond, since news propagates unevenly.
