I had a couple of responses to my inquiry about where to find WD1010 disk controllers. One person suggested calling western Digital and supplied 3 or 4 numbers. Well, WD will only talk to me to tell me about their local dealers. I got 4 numbers, 3 did not answer or their sales people were out. The fourth wanted $35.00 per chip (for a WD1010!). My original reason for wanting these was that I still have not made the HD upgrade and I thought it would be cheaper to have a couple of those as insurance. Well, it turns out that the following people have the WD2010 (more features for less bucks) for $15.00 a piece. They advertise in Radio-Electronics, among (I assume) other places. One person suggested them. Solid State Sales P.O. Box 74 Somerville, MA 02143 Phone: 1-800-343-5230 Phone: 1-617-547-7053 It looks like WD1010's are pretty much impossible to find. But then, with people like Solid State Sales, who cares! Augustine Cano canoaf@dept.csci.unt.edu
