[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Microscience 1090 drive

Hello, all.

I'm interested in buying a new hard disk for an AT&T machine I have (UNIX-PC).
These machines use the standard st506/MFM type drives and I figured
this would be a good place to ask, considering past hardware setups.

I've located a microscience 80Mb drive for $349 from a company called
jb Technologies.

First, has anyone dealt with jb Tech? Good or bad experience?  

Next, what about the Microscience drive?  Are these mechanisms typically
reliable or should they be avoided?

Please reply via email because I normally do not follow these groups.

Thanks,
