First off, though not quite 10 years, I'd love to
find an affordable 3.5"
ESDI hard drive in the 100-500mb range for my PS/2 model 70 lunchbox.
Second, Does anyone know when the various hard drive interfaces were
developed? The ones I can think of include:
MFM (early 80's?)
RLL (late 80's?)
SCSI (late 70's?)
ESDI (?)
IDE
any others? Thanks...
DMA/ACSI
Some of the models of the Atari ST series had a port to connect ACSI hard
drives, in fact I think all of them except the Falcon had a port for this,
from what I understand it was pretty hidious.
Sounds simular to the HD's originally used on the Macintosh 128/512 that
connected to the external floppy contector (no idea what it was, probably
MFM).
