We've been using the Micropolis 1335 (an MFM full-height 85/71MB disk) for a few years now. They're highly reliable, and we end up with a good partition count under DOS 3.3 with no special software. Micropolis is discontinuing the 1335 now, and there seem to be very few vendors still making 70MB MFM ST-506 hard disks. What I need to find now is either an ST-506 MFM 70-90 MB disk that's going to be around for a while, or some other kind of disk and controller that are equally quick and simple to install. Please send me mail with any suggestions; I don't read this group very often. If people want to see a summary, then I will summarize when I figure out which disk/controller to use. -- - - - Iain Sedgeman O'Cain; Cimage Technical Support -- ec@cimage.com Cimage Corporation, 3885 Research Park drive, Ann Arbor, MI 48108
