San Diego, Computer Center Lines: 17 I am trying to design an S100 system. It will consist of a Intercontinental Micro Systems SBC 48000 board. I also want 8" drives. It's been recommended that I use either Mitsubishi or Qume drives, but I double drive system with case and supply is upwards of $1500!. I have considered using Seimans drives, as I can get a DSDD 2 drive system for $500. I've heard these drives have a higher breakdown rate, how much higher. Is saving $1000 worth it or will I be replacing the drives every year. Also, any good recommendations on terminals would be appreciated (<$600) ir320 John Antypas UC San Diego UUCP ...!noscvax!sdcsvax!sdccs6!ir320 arpanet sdcsvax!sdccs6!ir320@nosc sdcsvax!sdccs6!ir320@Berkeley
