I am in need of several large (>300 as large as I can find) HDrives for model PS/2 80's. I have called several very large national drive houses that I normally deal with and have received the same response - "We don't have any!" When asked what made them so hard to find, the best explaination that I got was "Mr. IBM made it that way" My first question is - what makes them so different from other hard drives? Second question - does anyone have any leads on sources for them. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me!! A.D.(Mickey) Michael aadm@ecsvax.bitnet

I called them and they claim it does work. But I never bought anything from them.

With SCSI, you could connect >700MB 5.25" drives. -- Pim Zandbergen internet : pim@cti-software.nl CTI Software BV uucp : ..!uunet!ctisbv!pim Laan Copes van Cattenburch 70 phone : +31 70 542302 2585 GD The Hague, The Netherlands fax : +31 70 512837

Someone had mentioned SCSI's: along that line is the LANstor 4 external drive subsystem. Several of our clients are using them w/ PS/2 80s and ATs as file servers. The LANstor 4 will hold 4 SCSI drives(obviously daisy-chained) w/ connections to daisy-chain LANstor 4 boxes. If anyone wants more info let me know. ------ Tom Vandenberg {..uunet..uwvax!uwmcsd1..}!marque!studsys!vanden vanden%studsys@marque.UUCP {..uwvax..arpa..}!studsys.mu.edu!vanden Disclaimer - No one knows what I do, not even me. 43 4 58 N / 87 55 52 W
