Western Digital WD XT140 IDE note: separate cables - 2 drives
Western Digital WD XT150R IDE note: 1 drive only
Western Digital WD XTGEN MFM
Western Digital WD XTGEN2 MFM best interleave I think -0 bigger capacity
Western Digital WD XTGENR RLL
Western Digital WD 1002-WX1 MFM slow interleave
Western Digital WD 1002-27X RLL slow interleave
Western Digital WD 1004-WX1 MFM better interleave bigger capacity
Western Digital WD 1004-27X RLL better interleave

Yeah! That's the one. I didn't know about the Western Digital versions
back when I was selling these.
I Googled and found the Seagate drive I used to use with this
controller: the ST-351AX, a 43 MB IDE drive that could be jumpered for
either 8 or 16 bit controllers.
I also stumbled into a beautifully done web site that shows some great
pictures and descriptions of many of these early hard drives:

Really jangled some old brain cells.
