[net.micro.pc] Maynard Hard Disk, ASTEC Power Supply Queries

I have recently installed a Maynard Electronics 10MB internal hard
disk in my IBM PC. Does anyone have any experience with these hard
disks and have you had any problems with them. I am using the ME WS1
SandStar controller card. It was fairly easy to install and seems
to be working fine so far although it seems a little noisy when
something is being read from or written to  the disk. However,
I don't have any experience with other hard disks so I don't know whether
that is unusual. I am particularly interested in any problems with
the PC power supply and the hard disk. Also, someone mentioned buying
an XT power supply for their PC from ASTEC--any information on prices,
installation?
