- My IDE 200MB drive seems to work at about the same (very fast) speed
- it had under DOS. Of course, I used the drive with DOS for about a
- month, so I didn't have time to get used to it there. Before that, I
- had an 80MB SCSI (Seagate 296N with ST-01 controler) which was much
- slower. I haven't tried installing the Seagate drive under OS/2
- because of the lack of support for the ST-01 controler, and that I
- plan on putting that drive into an XT clone for running a BBS with.
