Does anybody have a opinion of what hd/controller combination is the
"best-buy" for a 286-PC/AT? I'm about to buy a hd of about 120-200meg
and I don't know which brand/type/interface to settle for.

Thanks ...

Because of the prices in England, I am going for an IDE interface - they
seem to be much cheaper than SCSI, ESDI or even ST506.
I am looking for a good price for the Conner CP3204F - 200Mb, 15mS
and said to be reliable and quiet.  The net at large seems to like it,
so I am prepared to go by others' opinions when they all agree!

Good luck with the upgrade.
Howard.
