It's slow (by today's standards).
It's noisy (by today's standards).
It's low capacity - 40MB (by today's standards).
It works just fine with a RamFAST SCSI interface.
You're probably better off spending a bit more and getting one of the
drives advertised by TMS Peripherals (or any other mail-order place).
