A copy of 'TheRef' #45, which is a big text file list of hard drive and storage
device specs from '96, doesn't list that exact model number, but the closest
match says...

(Note: you need 80 columns and monospaced fonts, or this will look like
garbage...)

The latest copy of TheRef I can find online is here:

http://oak.oakland.edu/pub/simtelnet/msdos/info/theref43.zip

...which is only from 1993. TheRef also had a web site with all this data
online, but at present it seems to be down or defunct.

Web site or not, TheRef #45 really ought to be online in several places so it's
easy to find. So, if anyone knows of a good public access ftp server to UL it
to, please say where; or if somebody has access to a good public ftp archive,
(or just wants the file for themselves), I can e-mail the file to them.
