I think I might be getting a drive out of an Mac SE. It's a 20 meg drive. I'd like to know what kinda drive it is and what I can use it with. Any comments are appreciated. acyoung@sunrise.acs.syr.edu

The usual drive is a Miniscribe somethin' or other. It is a slow drive (80-90 ms access time vs. 19ms standard for Quantum drives) with a notorious breakdown rate. Jim.

Not to mention the fact that the drive makes a grinding noise approximately equal in volume to an old Boeing 707 with water injection on takeoff (those things put out noise well over 100dB). -- \ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | / - Michael Weiss weiss@watson.seas.ucla.edu | School of Engineering and - - izzydp5@oac.ucla.edu | Applied Science, UCLA - / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | \
