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)
