- Stig,
-
- The MVII RQDX3 controller will take a variety of disks. Of
- particular interest are the Digital RD53 (Micropolis 1325) and
- the Digital RD54 (Maxstor XT-2190), which hold 73 Mbytes and 154
- Mbytes respectively. If you buy the non-Digital disks, you will
- need to locate some base plates somewhere.
-
- If the drives that you are using are not formatted for an RQDX3,
- you can format them using either the console diagnostics on a
- VS2000 or MV2000, or using a software utility on the MVII, if you
- have access to it.
-
- I hope that the above information is helpful. If I have been
- unclear, please feel free to contact me via Email.
