My Apple HD20 SC died last week, and the computer shop wants about $500 to fix fix it (basically a replacement). Therefore I am in the market for a new hard drive. Does anyone out there have any recommendations? The failure was in the drive itself, so I do own a fully functional Rev C Apple SCSI card, but I'm not wedded to SCSI if there's something better. The two I've been considering the most are the Inner Drive and the Vulcan. I'd appreciate any good information and advice. Thanks! Also, what's a good backup program that will work with the new GS/OS stuff (resource forks)? My last backup (using Apple's backup program) predated my installation of the latest OS, and as a result I've lost a small, but somewhat painful to recreate, quantity of work.

I would strongly recommend ProSel-16. It is only available directly from the author, Glen Bredon. Sorry, but I don't have his address here at work. If you want his address, send me some EMAIL. ==================================================================== J.

Look in magazines like 'Computer Shopper' for good deals on SCSI hard drives (not hard drive systems). For the $500 your dealer wants, you can probably get a 40meg or 60 meg drive. Buy the new drive, remove the old one from the case, install the new, and your ready to go. -- Matthew Lee Stier | Sun Microsystems --- RTP, NC 27709-3447 | "Wisconsin Escapee" uucp: sun!mstier or mcnc!rti!sunpix!matthew | phone: (919) 469-8300 fax: (919) 460-8355 |
