A friend of mine is getting a 660MByte Micropolis ESDI harddrive for her
386-25Mhz computer.  She is going to using it to store hires images 
captured by her video digitizer equipment, and use them in her research.

I am helping her shop around for the Harddisk and acontroller and kind of
decided to get a Micropolis full-height ESDI 660 Meg harddrive.  The mail-order
vender sells a kit with an Ultrastor ESDI controller.  I thought of getting
a Western Digital WD1007V-SE2 controller.  Could some knowledgeable netters 
please tell me the pros and cons of getting either of these controllers?

I would be particularly interested in hearing from people who have used them, 
though any opinions from others who have shopped around for an ESDI controller
would be useful.

Thanks,
