In my wanderings, I ran into a fellow who has some very nice 71 meg hard disks for sale. They are made by Micropolis, and thae can be used in the PC, XT or AT. It takes some monkey-business to get the thing working on a pc, as the PC was not designed with a hard drive in mind, much less a 71 meg. On the AT it is a type 4. At any rate, the drive runs at 30ms (a very respectible speed) and is pretty quiet. You can hear a little popping sounds, but nothing bad. I have one myself and it works very well. (I tend to use hard drives to death- I killed a CORE, and that takes WORK.) The best thing about the drive is the price. The guy wants $1250 for them.. and he has lots. I bought one before he was able to get sane, and I would recommend you do the same. Also: I have a nice little program that will do all the formatting for you. But i'll format them if you want.. it's kind of a pain to do. Joseph Russack uucp: ucbvax!ucsfcgl!russack
