    Yeah!  That's the one.  I didn't know about the Western Digital versions 
back when I was selling these.

    I Googled and found the Seagate drive I used to use with this 
controller:  the ST-351AX, a 43 MB IDE drive that could be jumpered for 
either 8 or 16 bit controllers.

    I also stumbled into a beautifully done web site that shows some great 
pictures and descriptions of many of these early hard drives:

    Really jangled some old brain cells.
