Hmm, interesting, never heard of this. Frankly, you would probably be better finding a cheap SCSI drive and drop the MFM part. MFM controllers tend to be very specific for the drives, we're pretty spoiled these days with SCSI and IDE that supports every drive under the sun. Back in the day, finding a drive that worked with the specific controller could be difficult. Also, MFM was supplanted by RLE and then IDE fairly quickly, I bet you'd have a hard time finding much over 250 megs, if even that. Plus they were fairly unreliable and slow compared to even the SCSI of that era too. Scott Holder -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
