I ran across a new style WD1003 controller the other day that I wonder if anyone knows about. It is marked WD1003V-MMI. Its a 2/3 card like the WD1003-WA and is a hard disk only controller. It had a greatly reduced chip count with only about 8-9 surface mounted components. Does anyone know if this is just an updated WD1003-WA or does it have some special application ? Thanks.

The V series is an update of the older models with the same base
number (100X). I believe they are track buffered, at least the 1006 is.
As I recall the suffixes, the ones ending in SR2 are HD+FD, the MM1 is
HD only. There are SR1 and SR2 I believe, but I don't have my notes
here.

I believe they are track buffered, at least the 1006 is. Only the 1006 series are track cached; the 1003s are not. The remainder of your info is correct; these are the "new" model numbers and all are heavily endowed with the surface-mount components. -- Karl Denninger (karl@ddsw1.MCS.COM, <well-connected>!ddsw1!karl) Public Access Data Line: [+1 312 566-8911], Voice: [+1 312 566-8910] Macro Computer Solutions, Inc.
