[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Request Info on Miniscribe 3053

il@utai.UUCP (Indra Laksono) (01/12/88)

In my hunt for a new hard disk for my new AT, the salesman
introduced the Miniscribe 3053, this is 40MB and has avg
seek of 25ms.  Thing is: this is a half height drive so I
was suspicious.  Can anyone out there confirm or dispell this?
