[net.micro.mac] paradise hard disks

ferris@tcville.UUCP (Mark Ferris) (04/01/86)

	Has anybody out there had any experience with the Paradis
hard disks?  With the current $550 mail order price, they look
nicely affordable.  I can't forsee upgrading to the Mac+ digital
board, so SCSI drives are out, and all the other Mac hard drives
are more expensive.
	Most specifically, I'd like to know:

 - How well does it work with a Mac upgraded with the new internal
drive and ROMs?
 - Does it work with HFS?
 - Can you boot straight from the hard disk w/o a floppy pre-boot?
 - Does it require any special software (ie, non System and Finder)?
 - Can you have all 10 MB on line w/o having to mount and unmount volumes
like you used to have to do pre-HFS?

	Are there any other questions to ask?  What do people think
of this drive?

	Thanks for any info.  I'll prepare and post a summary if
anybody wants such.
