What is the access time on something like the hard card? Im looking for the 38 milsec range… arent those smaller drives up around 95 milsecs? C. Herbst

I don't have any specs here but I'll see if I can find any for you.. You might check the IBM hardware forum go ibmhw..

Remember, if the SideCar comes out as reported (and shown) at Comdex, the hard disk you stick in it does not have to be a hardcard type. It can be a normal internal HD. Now, the problem may be that the drives with the track to track times you're looking for are AT type drives — do they make them in half height? (They weren't last time I checked but that doesn't mean anything now) If they aren't available in half height can the 5.25 floppy be easily removed to accomadate a full height? At any rate, if you need that type of track to track access speed double the price for the HD itself from quotes you've been hearing.
