 Re: Looking for IMI drives for a Cromemco:
 Another solution would be to find an STDC HD controller; then you could
 use most ST406/512 drives, and they'd also be quite a bit faster (and it
 would be a lot cheaper to ship ;-). I'm running two 150MB Maxtors and
 two 20MB IMIs on the same system BTW.
 I don't believe there are any CDOS drivers for it though, so you'd have
 to run any CDOS or CP/M programs in Cromix.
 As an aside, there's also an ESDI/SCSI controller; they're pretty scarce
 and your card set wouldn't support one AFAIK, but there is at least one
 person out there putting a 1.2GB disk into his Cromemco (you know who
 you are); not sure if it's working yet though, looks like the
 drive may be bad. 
An STDC would be nice and I agree, in sole ways perhaps more desirable than
the WDI-II but I haven't seen one come available for a looooong time (YMMV).
I also prefer not to lose CDOS or the possibility of CP/M (although I always
preferred MP/M-II even for single user use).
