In-Reply-To: message from microsoft!roberth@uunet.uu.net I have a friend who has very few problems with a Ehman 32 meg internal in his Mac SE. If I keep the IIe, I'll get another scsi brand hard drive like the Sider or a Seagate and get more then 30 megs. With all the software getting larger and more disk space that is needed, going above 30 megs makes sense.

Question, then: Does anyone know whether Ehman actually manufactures their own HD platters and controllers? Or do they, like CMS, use a variety of other people's, including Seagate? For the Mac, the only significant difference between a CMS drive and a Seagate drive is the software furnished. Each is an exact replacement for the other - and in fact, under the CMS label, it says, "Seagate". Is this the case with Ehman? ---- UUCP: {nosc, uunet!cacilj, sdcsvax, hplabs!hp-sdd, sun.com} ...!crash!pro-europa!dkl ARPA: crash!pro-europa!dkl@nosc.mil INET: dkl@pro-europa.cts.com - BITNET: pro-europa.uucp!dkl@psuvax1

My Ehman drive says Seagate right on the unit. It's not even covered up. They are excellent drives with excellent support. Last summer (mid-July) both my Ehman and Jasmine drives crashed (on the same day, as a matter of fact). Both were shipped out to the respective companies on Tuesday (the Jasmine Fed. Express and the Ehman UPS air). The Ehman returned to me fully functional that same Friday, and the Jasmine returned, with the infamous Quantum drive bug (see comp.sys.mac for many comments on this) at the end of September. And Ehman now promises *overnight* replacement! Jeff Kain jkain@silver.bacs.indiana.edu
