WD-325N is Western Digital. I do NOT think you have to buy the same one from WD. Seagate also make them. Go out and shop around, $600 is too high. Try some mail order too, if you need more help, send me a msg., I will get you some phone# to call.

SEAGATE and WESTERN DIGITAL DO NOT make a drive that they will sell to you or ME for the ps2/50... We used a SCSI Controller from FUTURE DOMAIN, (714)-259-0400, the controller was an MCS-350 and the disk was a Seagate *****SCSI****** drive, I think the model we used was an ST138N. For approximately $600 we got a controller and drive combination that was faster and an extra 10mb over the ibm 20mb drive; as well as the ability to add SCSI tape and extra drives. > Go out and shop around, $600 is too high.

The ps2/50 controller and drive combination REALLY is a dog. Reminds me of an ST-506 5mb drive I used to have on a late 70s CP/M machine.... :^) later frank -- Frank Abernathy, University of Texas at Austin, frank@ut-emx.utexas.edu Work: (512)-471-3216 Home: (512)-244-0625 (ans. mach always on...)
