Speaking of which, would anyone have recommendations for or
against the Compupro 40-mbyte disk subsystem S-100 is selling for ~2250??
This is much below (what I thought was the) Compupro price, and I'd like
to think it's not too good to be true.  Anybody??

I have heard so many horror stories about the Disk 3 that I would keep
a very long distance from it for another few months or so. I keep
hearing that the problems have been ironed out, then lo and behold
more trouble and another version of the board. The Quantum drive
apparently is just fine, but the Disk 3 is quite another story.
