I have a Miniscribe 12 MB drive that I spend half my time >deleting from and half the rest compressing stuff. I'm not at home (where my trusty 100 is), so I'm not sure if I have the same controller (it's the stock controller circa 85 or 86). However, I did replace the factory 10 meg disk with a Seagate 4038. The only tricks were: 1) The drive came out of the box jumpered as drive 1, not drive 0 (this took a while to discover). 2) I had to run PREP with the /K switch, even though the drive was *supposed* to be < 32 meg. 3) I had to specify the drive parameters when running PREP. I *believe* that these came with the drive. Most manufactures will provide them if you call. Other than that, it's worked fine. Faster than blazes, as this is an 'AT' drive with 28 ms access time. Glad to see that there are still 100 users out there!!! Mark Urban-Lurain urban@cpswh.cps.msu.edu
