I used a Micropolis 60 Meg from 1988 to 1992 or so as my main drive.

I still use it in a couple of machines when I need to do 8086/80286
stuff and don't have a drive.

I think it's fast and reliable for its vintage. Never had a problem,
UNLESS, you try to PARK the drives, in which case you can get them
interminably stuck....

Don't "Park" these later drives, they park all by themselves...
