Subject: Cromemco WDI-II HDC Compatibility

I am contemplating purchasing a WDI-II, which is a hard disk controller 
that Cromemco used to offer for its S-100 computers.  I am waiting for
a snail-mail reply from the seller regarding compatibility of this 
controller with currently-available drives.  I've been stung twice, 
now, by Cromemco's non-standard signal assignments, on the 8" floppy 
disk controller and the parallel printer card.

So, has anyone had experience with the WDI-II?  Has anyone succeeded in
using it with drives that are still available?  If not, does anyone have
a line on an ST506, ESDI, or (unlikely) SCSI controller for S-100?

I sure wish I could go to the Trenton show this weekend; I'm sure they'd 
have one down there.
