Hello folks,
I wonder, does anyone know what were the highest capacity ESDI hard disks made?
Were there any in the 1 GB range? And last but not least, where can I find such
drives?
Jerome Fine replies:
Hitachi produced the DK516-15 drive which has 1.2 GBytes.
I used to use them both with a real PDP-11 with a Sigma
RQD11-EC controller and on a Pentium 166 MMX with
an Ultrastore (if I remember that controller name correctly)
controller.
I am gradually selling them as I stop needing the backups
I made. They are VERY heavy even for a 5 1/4" full
height drive. I am in Toronto.
Sincerely yours,
Jerome Fine
