I am running ESIX on a Dell 310 with 8 Megs RAM. I wish to upgrade my HD from MFM to SCSI. I considered ESDI but thought the SCSI would be a better option for the long run. I have decided to purchase the Adaptec 1542A controller. One of the sales people at Hard Drives International said that they have had numerous returns of the Miniscribe 9380S. Owner cite compatability problems with the interface. They have had no problems with the ESDI version. Any comments from NETLAND? Also, is anyone using a Micropolis drive with the above setup or just this type of drive with the adaptec card? I am very interested in responses since I will purchase this subsystem within the month. Thanks for the replies and I will post any info that I receive. -- \ / C r o s s r o a d s C o m m u n i c a t i o n s /\ (602) 941-2005 300|1200|2400 Baud 24 hrs/day / \ hplabs!hp-sdd!crash!xroads!chandler
