I'm thinking about buying a Miniscribe 9380s (330Mb, SCSI) for use with
386bsd and I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who
a) is using such a beast with this OS
b) is familiar with Miniscribe products and is willing to comment
on their quality, ie. speed, longevity, etc.
I know that Miniscribe has recently been "inhaled" :-) by Maxtor, and
that's no doubt where the low price comes in. If I can get any indication
that this is a decent drive, I'll probably takemy chances!
Well, please send me email if you have any comments.
Thanks very much,
pat
