   Oh yes, I forgot that one. I didn't use MFM (or RLL) very long.   
   When I udated from the 286 desktop to a fullsize 386 tower it came with   
   a 160 Mb SCSI HD and ever since I have stayed with SCSI.

   I have already used that when the temperature fell below 10øC and the   
   wind was quite strong. Goodbye to the shorts and shortsleeved shirts.
