- I think the part no for the current HD drive is F-357A, but please check before
- ordering one. They are also in short supply. The ID no that they return to
- dos at startup can be found in the 2.04 include files. They basically spin at
- 150 rpm instead of 300 whenever a HD disk is inserted, allowing twice as much
- data to be written out in one rotation.
