Subject: ST506 (was Re: Cromemco WDI-II HDC Compatibility)

Actually, the controller doesn't give a hoot whether it's an ST-506
(unbuffered) or an ST-412 (buffered seek).  It just sends out step signals at
the rate that the hard-disk driver tells it to.  However, if the drive is in
fact an ST-506, and some one forgets to enter the appropriate step rate in the
driver - assumes buffered seek, that is - it will just about 'buzz' that poor
old unbuffered thing to death!
