Sender:Nathaniel Beck, Dept. of Pol. Sci. I have an ATT6300 with a 386 Accelorator Card (on a separate board). For various reasons I need a new hard disk. My choice is a Seagate 238 or 251. The cost difference is $200. I don't really need the extrra 10 Megs of the 251 and was wondering whether the access time difference (40 to about 80 milliseconds) will make much difference. I currently run DOS but may some day want a UN*X or ZENIX partition. My board has a meg of memory with 256K used as a cache. Is it worth the $200 to get the 251. Thanks in advance.
