I just removed the WD1010 disk controller from gizzmo and put in a WD2010.
The operation was as easy as  Craig said it would be in his article. After
I finished, the computer passwd ALL diagnostics and booted up properly.
I am running a MICROPOLIS 1325 80 meg drive, but it has 8 heads and 1024
cyls.  I will be test formating my neighbors drive, (dont know the name yet)
which has 1160 cyls some time next week and will post the results.  The new
controller is in a ceramic case vice the plastic one that I removed.  I do
not have any data on it.  If any one has a Western Digital book, please look
up the part number and let us know the specs.  Here is the part number:


WD2010B-AL 05-02 vice the origonal which was WD1010A-PL 05-05
