Also looking for a Micropolis 1325 MFM Drive,
71/80MB , I've seen both the
ST506 and Mic. 1325 on eBay for like 600.00 which I think is crazy...
What's the largest capacity 3.5" MFM HDD available?
I have an extensive collection of MFM/RLL drives and have _never_ run
across one with that interface in a 3.5" form-factor. Not sure that
anything of this sort existed. 5.25" 1/2-ht. was about as sophisticated
as they got.
I have several miniscribe 20mb in all flavors of interface st412, SCSI
and IDE. I have some really old 3.5" WD 10mb. to name a few.
They show up around the beginning of the IDE era but by time IDE hit 40mb
they seemed to have disappeared.
