Hi Carl ! >> I use a pair of Elite-9 9.1GB drives of that family in my Server 85 > >And I thought that I was the only one still using these breezeblock >sized drives :-) Nope. I could not resist to buy them *brand new* (!) at 100DM + 15% VAT each from a team-mate who underestimated the consequence of the side-note "Full Height" :-) And -compared to so-called "server drives"- they are much lesser noisy.

Hi ! >The ISA 16/4 IBM cards with the tropic chipset work fine here >both in ISA and PCI machines. Have not installed Linux on MCA yet. You can already buy the Seagate Elite-46 ST-446452, 46.4 GB (5.25" Full Height, Ultra-Wide, 13.2 ms av. access / 4MB cache / 5.400 rpm). This thing is available in Germany at www.alternate.de for 4.499 DM (about 2.500 US$). It's a real flagship. You only need to find a controller / operating system combination that supports such large drives. Most likely no problem under any -ix OS..... won't surely not work under DOS/Windows .. hehehe. I use a pair of Elite-9 9.1GB drives of that family in my Server 85 ... spin-down time about 15 seconds after power off. :-) During operation the noise is reasonable. The accesses however can be precisely identified - you *hear* which drive is accessed, but the "continous tone noise" (and the "irritation factor" of that) is much lower than on actual 3.5" / 10K rpm drives.
