Hey, speaking of the ORIGINAL topic here.... anyone remember MFM hard
drives??? I am subscribed to a list from Hitechcafe.com and this
morning in their list of items they have on special, the included the
following:
0083MB MFM 3.5 X 1.6 15MS HARD DRIVE - $89  ITEM #...ST1100

*shudder* I remember MFM hard drives. Boy those were the days... had
to be sure you had an RLL hard drive with the MFM controller... or
was it an MFM hard drive with an RLL controller??? I recall that you
could essentially increase your drive space by about 50% by using RLL
with MFM controller or vice versa... :-)

Thank goodness THOSE days are gone! :-)
