My personal impression is that the current day hard disks are
_unreliable_.  As a group.  Now could somebody out there arrange
an Atari ST <--> Micro Bernoulli connection?  (Removable, 5", 20Meg,
flexible, durable cartridges!)  Meanwhile, _please_ do not put any
valuable data on a hard disk.  Use it for work copies of programs that
you already have on floppies.  Put you data on two (or more) floppies
and upload it to some mainframe too...
