[comp.sys.apple] Info Request on Sider 10 Mybte Drive

wen@pro-sol.cts.COM (Wendell Wyly) (10/26/87)

Has anyone closely examined the Sider Disk Drives.  Mine was a 10 mbyte with a
Miniscribe Model 3012 (2 heads and 612 cylinders and 12 alternate tracks) with
a Xebec 104786 controller.

I have tried to use a Seagate 212 10 mbyte disk drive but cannot properly
format the drive.  I plan to also try a Seagate 225 (20 mbyte) drive.  

Has anyone ever upgraded the 10 mbyte to a 20 mbyte drive in the Sider?
Any info on exactly which drive and controller comes in the 20 mbyte sider
would be appreciated.

I would like to upgrade mine for $200 instead of $550.00 and with so many IBM
type drives available, seems possible!
