I'm musing over the purchase of a 386/20 or /25 and I'm trying to decide whether to go with an ESDI or SCSI hard drive interface. I'm interested in hearing what you netlanders think pros/cons of the two systems. I would like to be able to run UNIX or Xenix in the future so I 'm looking at 100-125 Mb disks. I'm leaning toward the ESDI interface because of its speed. Does anyone know the differences in access time between the two? Is it possible to run two drive controllers if I were to add a tape backup or seconded 1.44 drive. You can respond to me directly via e-mail. Thanks in advance.
