I have a 20 MHz with 80meg SCSI. So far I have experienced no problem with it EXCEPT that it will not run Compaq version of OS/2 (it ran fine on Dell machines.) First it took about 2 minutes loading data (I can hear it) then it says something like Wrong System File. Personally I would pick SCSI drives. They are fast, dasychainable, and from what I have gathered, cheaper. I am thinking about getting another 296N (80meg 28 ms scsi) for about $450. Not too bad. -- Bill Tsai University of Delaware CIS ARPA: bill@vax1.acs.udel.EDU (302) 738-1716 " The computer doesn't hate everybody - just you... "
