I am contemplating purchasing a Miniscribe 340 MB ESDI drive model M9830E. Anyone have any experiences with this drive? Dave Berk ..!att!emdbl1!dab (201) 564-3294

The machine "tct" runs off of one of these. It works fine in a Compaq Deskpro 386/25. Some time ago I reported that it was generating spontaneous bad blocks. Eventually I had to reformat it, because the bad track table was full. I used the Compaq diagnostics to do a low-level format. Presto! The format came up clean, and no more bad blocks since then. -- Chip, the new t.b answer man <chip@tct.uucp>, <uunet!ateng!tct!chip>
