Has anyone ever tried putting 3rd party disks into an RT?  Exactly what
kind of disks does it take?  The documentation says that the original cpu
machines use ESDI disks, while the new systems use Extended ESDI disks.
What is the difference between these - is it only a controller or formatting
issue, so the disks are physically the same?

If anyone has specific information about manufacturers or types of disks
that are known to work, that would be very helpful.
