[fa.info-cpm] Seagate hard disk

C70:info-cpm (06/19/82)

I have been looking at small Winchester disks to add to a CCS system.  The
CDC FINCH was my choice, but today my dealer pointed out the new Seagate
Winchester, 10 megabytes, $975, plus another $545 for a controller (DC-510).
However, he currently doesnt have any info on it other than price.

Anyone have any more info?  What kind of interface is the DC-510?  Is
there a CP/M BIOS (in part) around?  Most important -- is it power safe?
That is, if I loose power while it is spun up will there be potential for
loss of data and/or oxide?  My Priam 1070 works real good, but you sure
better tell it 'DOWN' before power goes away.
