Ok, thanks for all your help, I think I've given up on this one. So I have another question for you. I was looking at the Computer Shopper for hard dives. I came across an ad that has a couple of intersting prices. The ones I am looking at are: Miniscribe 3053 45meg 25ms for 289, its mfm and 5.25 inch Miniscribe 8051 44meg 28 ms for 299, it scsi and 3.5 inch I'm really not sure which one to get. I have two internal floppys, so I would have to get an 5.25 frame for the scsi drive. I dont know much about hardware, so I really need help. Is there a speed difference using the mfm drive? (A2090a controller). Just looking, I would choose the 3053 since its the right size, cheaper, and a touch faster. But what do I know. HELP!!! Dave p.s. Anybody looking for a 40 meg ide drive???With controller!CHEAP!!
