Does anyone out have any experience with this machine or this company? Anyone have any disk access times on this machine? Finally, does anyone know of any other hard disks which are this cheap which may be a good buy? I have _extremely_ low cash flow now and can't afford a Data Frame, Peak, or any of the other well-known and highly recommended disk drives. cheers, from charles s. geiger ARPA: cgeiger@ngp.cc.utexas.edu cgeiger@ut-ngp.ARPA UUCP: ihnp4!ut-ngp!cgeiger allegra!ut-ngp!cgeiger gatech!ut-ngp!cgeiger seismo!ut-sally!ut-ngp!cgeiger harvard!ut-sally!ut-ngp!cgeiger /* End of text from uxc.cso.uiuc.edu:comp.sys.mac */
