Here's some info, directly from a flyer they sent me. 20 meg = $659.95 (489.95) 40 meg = $879.95 (629.95) 65 meg = $949.95 (739.95) 150 meg = ??????? (???.??) This package contains the drive, SCSI controller, and case. The prices in (parentheses) are WITHOUT controller and case. Average access times for the drives are 65ms, 40ms and 40ms for the 20, 40, and 65 meg drives. They also have 10.7meg floppy drives (Konica, I suppose), 10meg cartridges, and 70 and 150 meg tape backups. No prices are listed. Also cables, MIDI cables, switch boxes, and external floppy drives ($159.95 single drive, $329.95 DUAL drive, $144.95 internal floppy for Amiga 2000). Pioneer Computing 2469 East 7000 South #200 Salt Lake City, UT 84121 (801) 942-1174 I have no connection whatsoever with this company. (Heck, I own a C.Ltd. hard drive :-)). I don't know if their products are great or lousy. Be a smart buyer! -- Dan Barrett ins_adjb@jhunix.UUCP barrett@cs.jhu.edu
