Fixed Disk Drives - IBM PS/2 80 Hardware Maintenance Reference

IBM PS/2 Model 80 HMR

Fixed Disk Drives

2.2 Fixed Disk Drives
Several fixed disk drives are available for PS/2 systems. The fixed disk
drive and fixed-disk-drive interface must be the same. For example, an
enhanced small device interface (ESDI) adapter must be used with an ESDI
drive. For supported fixed disk drives, see the parts section in the
Hardware Maintenance Service pamphlet for the model you are servicing.
The Model 80 uses fixed disk drives that automatically position the
read/write heads in nondata areas when the system is powered-off. No
special precautions are required regarding parking the heads when moving
the computer.
