I am running a 25 MHz 386 DX with an 80 MB Microscience Hard disk (Model
7070-20). It was purchased at the end of 1989 in Singapore and I have no
technical reference whatsoever about it. I suddenly find a nifty (old) 
40 MB Seagate ST-251 hard disk in my hands and would like to use it as
a second drive. How do I know if this will work or not?

I believe the Seagate ST-251 is an RLL drive, and assume the Microscience
is too (It definately is not an IDE or SCSI). Could sparks start flying if
I just plug em in and boot? Are there any technical notes lieing around
that I could look up? Or is there someone out there who knows the solution
right now?
