Don't know much about the Dilogs (other than there were tape and disk
versions) but ESDI disks can still be found on Ebay, I have a spare
150mb drive if you need it. They are quite quick all things considered,
and some of the ESDI controllers had pretty good hardware acceleration
features in addition to block and burst mode DMA.

II.? Existing
controllers are ESDI and MFM, disks hard to find.
So I would like to convert a brand-new DQ703 I have to SQ706 so I can
mount SCSI disks.
I understand it is just? a prom change.
Does anybody have any info, or perhaps a PROM image?
cheers,
