I am interested in purchasing the new ProApp 20 meg hard disk drive, but as of
yet have not found anyone who has purchased one. I would like to talk to some-
one about the performance, etc. of this drive before shelling out the $1000 for
such a drive.
I called up the company and talked to one of their sales persons. He said that
you may have the Macintosh Plus (or the 128/512 Mac) hooked up at the same time
with an Apple ][ series computer! The only problem, he said, was that they
cannot be accessing at the same time. A minor drawback that they are currently
working on (yeah, right :-). So, does anyone have such a beast, or know of
anyone currently using one without any problems? I am mostly looking to use
this drive on my bulletin board system and run it 24 hours a day... can it
handle such a workload?
Feel free to reply here or in mail. If I get enough responses in mail, I will
post my findings here. I am new on here, so don't know my path for you to leave
me mail... you guys are smart, use the "Reply-To:" line and figure it out!
If you wish to call my board, it is called the Boiler Room -- 317-743-6762
...or call me voice at 317-743-3179 (after 5:30pm Indiana time).
...or on weekends, call 219-295-7046 (Elkhart, Indiana).
Thanks in advance!
