I recntly aquired a 20MB hard card manufactured by Mountain Computers. It is a few years old and has never been used. Does anyone know how much they sold for when they were new, and about how much it is worth now. I'm not sure what the model number is, but it is real slow average access time of about 60ms, 8 bit controller card. Also has anyone that has used this product have any comments about it, positive or negative. It is not for sale BTW. Thanks in advance TIM SIMMONS tims@starfish.convergent.com
