[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] ST506 disk with ESDI controller..

antoniop@cernvax.cern.ch (antonio pastore) (11/22/90)

Hi net,
I just received a new ESDI controller (Ultrastore 12F) with a new ESDI disk
(micropolis 1664) and they work wery well togheter.
This combination should replace the ST506 controller with 2 ST506 disks that
currently I use (120MB + 60 MB disks, both RLL).

I was wondering if I can reuse one of the disks with the Ultrastore
controller instead of sell it. I have no idea if the electrical
interfaces of ST506 and ESDI are compatible or not.

Any idea?
