Yes, I have a dead one around here someplace. It uses a card edge

Have you seen these drives? They're nothing like IDE. They don't even
use the ESDI standard one-signal/two-data cables. It plugs into a
doohickey similar to the ST-506 doohickey on the Mod 50. On Wed, 19 Dec 2001, Tothwolf wrote:
That's strange...I pulled out my old worn out books and both say the 70
shipped with IDE drives. Maybe IBM shipped the 70 with both kinds of

70 shipped with an IDE
drive.
Nope, definitely ESDI.
