Hi all,

In clearing out my loft I've stumbled across (literally) a Dell 333D. 
This beastie is a 386 with a 760MB Winchester "Disk Memory Unit". It is 
connected to a 16bit ISA card claiming to be an Ultrastor M 94V-0.

Am I right in thinking that I could install an run on the 386? The 
m/board has one IDE connector to that aspect shouldn't be a problem, 
but what exactly is a Winchester, and might it be usable (for museum 
purposes, mostlikely, and I know it'll be slow and clunky if it goes at 
all!)

Cheers
Dylan
