I looked at the drive in one of my Vulcans, and noticed it was an old WD
similiar to one I had scrounged from a 286. I swapped it in, formatted it,
and and loaded the GSOS, and it works fine. It's a WD93044-A, and it seems a
bit faster than the original drive, perhaps because it has 1:1 interleave
due to onboard cache.

I also tried a 105 meg drive, which was detected and seemed to format, but
it didn't work. When I get a chance, I'll try playing with that again.

I like these Vulcans. They are internal, cool the whole machine, and seem
just as fast as my SCSI drives.  The name and the black color are pretty
cool too.
