[net.micro.pc] Hard Disk Cards Finally Drop in Prices

ijk@hropus.UUCP (Ihor J. Kinal) (01/08/86)

When the first hard disk card came out last fall, it was interesting
(10 meg for $1095).  Then another computer make came out with
10 & 20 meg versions for about the same money - I said to myself,
the competition starts, let's see what happens (since I was thinking
of getting a hard disk for my AT&T 6300).  In the latest PC Magazine
is an ad for a 20 Meg Express Hard Disk Card(TM) for only $595.
(Call toll free 800-341-7549 ext 2100. In Illinois, call 312 882-7733,
ext 2100).

If you have DOS 3.1, you can add this card to an existing disk system,
and exceed 32 meg total storage.

The ad also claims to have a better interleave than the XT,"... which
means that you retrieve data 6 times faster...."

When someone in netland gets their hands on one, comments will be
appreciated.

Thanx.
