What is the word on IDE drives and 386 unix (Either Interactive's or
Esix)?  I am setting up a system intended as single user unix PC.  I am
considering a Conner IDE 200M drive which sells for < $900.00

Questions:

	Is this likely to work with 386 unix ? It is a ST-506 clone
	after all.

	Does the choice of IDE interface card matter?

	In the same price range, would I be better off with an ESDI
	drive?  Any controller/drive recommendations?


Thanks in advance for your help.
