I'm setting up an old system with a 380MB Maxtor (Miniscribe) ESDI
drive and I have two ESDI controllers. One is a DTC 6280, the other,
a DTC 6282. Which one is the preferable one? The 6280 is about a
2/3 length ISA card and the 6282 is about 1/2 length. Date codes are
about a year apart (90 vs. 91) with the 6280 being the older one.
For the life of me, I just can't remember which one I liked better.
I do recall that it's possible to hang 4 floppies on the same cable
off of either and that the FDC part handles FM very nicely.
Thanks,
Chuck
