All of Quantum's disk drives designed for PCs now support Fast ATA,
and new products with Fast ATA support will be introduced in early
1995. The drives are also fully backward compatible with older ATA/
IDE (non-Fast ATA) BIOS.
The Quantum drives support both the Extended CHS (Cylinder Head
Sector) and LBA (Logical Block Address) addressing methods in
overcoming the 528 MB DOS capacity barrier. Quantum drives can also
be used with dual host adapters.
Finally, there are no incompatibilities with Quantum hard drives
that would prevent computer systems from supporting non-hard drive
peripherals.
Quantum drives that support Fast ATA include the following families:
Quantum ProDrive LPS 170/210/340/420
Quantum ProDrive LPS 270/540
Quantum Maverick 270/540
Quantum Lightning 365/540/730
Quantum Daytona 127/170/256/341/514

I have a large collection of known good old drives to pick from and that

does not hold for the Quantum prodrives LPS105 series below 500mb and my
collection
As I recall, LBA started showing up in the mid-90s so I'd look for
drives that were manufactured in that timeframe
Quantum ProDrive LPS, or any Apple-labeled ATA drive.
I think <1gb are starting to dry up, haven't seen many at Weird Stuff
in a while.
There should be tons of them out there somewhere coming out of Performas.
