- Hi architypes
-
- I have been looking to add another hard disc to my A5000 and
- would like info from anyone who knows about a particular HD.
- The drive in question is a Maxtor XT1140 which I am told has
- a ST506 interface. It is 112 Meg , 5 1/4 full height, MFM
- (don't know what MFM means !). Does anyone know anything at
- all about this drive or any similar? Is it worth going for
- an ST506 drive now or should I stump up the cash for an IDE
- or even SCSI ? The price being asked is 120 UK pounds. I
- presume I also need to get an ST506 interface ?
-
- Please e-mail rather than post.
- TIA
- Phil
