A 'genuine' Compaq harddisk costs about 4 times as much as a no-name harddisk. However, I seem to remember that there was some discussion in this newsgroup about problems using non-Compaq harddisks in Compaq machines. Unfortunately, I didn't save the information. Could someone please enlighten me (preferably by E-Mail, I will forward to Me-too requests). Thanks. Ge van Geldorp. ge@dutlru2.tudelft.nl ....!uunet!hp4nl!dutlru2.tudelft.nl!ge
