Can anyone recommend any specific ESDI drives in the ~300MB range to be used with Microport V/386 ? I would be interested in hard disk only controller combos (no floppy). I've seen a lot of ads recently for Miniscribe, Maxtor and CDC and just curious to what the best MB-for-the-buck is these days. Thanks.

I've been using a Maxtor 330mb disk on a WD1007-WA2 controller for
several months under uport Sys V/386 with no problems.

I would be interested in hard . . . Try the Maxtor 4380 ESDI drive with an Adaptek 2322B controller. The 4380 is fast, relatively quite (doesn't sound like a Geiger counter ala the 1140) and works well with Unix. I posted a message describing the setup of a Unix 3.2 system with the 4380/2322B a few weeks ago. -- Steven C.
