Hello netters!

I am in the market of selling my Mac Plus (2.5 Meg Ram) and a CMS Hard drive
(30 Meg).  I intend to sell this by next month.  I am thinking about getting a
bare-bone IIcx and buying a third-party internal hard disk.  I would like to
know from all of you what are some good internal drives available.  I believe@
Jasmine and Micronet have good internal drives.  I am looking for something
in the $700-$900 range.  Speed is very important...I would like the access
time to be in the teens if possible.  Reliablity is of the greatest importance.
Other considerations include: compatibility with System 7.0, AU/X and Microsoft
products.  Also another consideration is the disk partitioning and hard disk
installing software.  I would prefer the hard disk to come with SOFTWARE
installation (rather than hardware settings). Please respond to me directly
through e-mail.  If I get enough responses, I WILL post a summary to the net.

Thanks for your ATTENTION.

Deepak Seth
Microsoft.
