In the time since we have bought our drive, the price has dropped (of course). In looking through "Digital Review" this morning, I noticed that Kimberly Electronics has the XT-8760E for $3295. They don't mention a controller, though. They are at 1-800-843-4009 (in NJ 201-387-0872). < I don't represent in any way Software Associates, Sigma or Maxtor. Still true. Also true: I don't represent in any way Kimberly Electronics. ____________________________________ Brian V. Smith (bvsmith@lbl.gov) Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory We don't need no signatures!
