Jason's writing snipped...
Try an ST-251-1. It's the voice-coil version of the ST-251 and clocks in
at 28ms. You can't have mine. I use them on uVAXen.
Ethan, this hd ST251-1 is equally bad and it uses stepper not voice
coil. Can see the stepper itself. Also this hd have lot of
reliablity problems and very touchy especially handling, very
loud noisy.
Compared to ST251 series, ST351A/X series is pretty sturdy and very
low powered. But this ST351A/X is easiest to find than this
Miniscribe XT ide 8051A is voice coil and that is all I know that is
only one that does XT ide or AT.
