Unfortunately, ESDI won't work with the MSC9305 S-100 HDC. The '9305 uses
MFM, by the way, but in order to avoid meddling with good, solid code, I
want to install an adequate replacement. I once had a number of Seagate
4144's (?) which worked OK on this controller, but it's got to have at least
8 heads and at least 640 cylinders. The '9305 can only step at one rate, 3
ms/step, so speed isn't an issue.

What about a micropolis 1355 ?
