[comp.sys.ibm.pc] 20 meg Hard Cards

tpf@gitpyr.gatech.EDU (Tom Friedel) (04/26/87)

I'm new to this newsgroup and don't know if this topic has been
discussed before. 

I'm considering buying a 20-meg Hard Disk Card for an original IBM
PC, so that I   1.) won't lose a floppy 2.) won't need a hard drive
controller card and 3.) won't need a new power supply.

Is this a good idea?  I'm considering buying the THE 20MB by mail order
in March 1987 BYTE on page 223.  It costs 375.00.  The Mail order company 
is PC Network.

Most Hard Cards around Atlanta are from Plus Development for about $650.

Any opinions on my purchase would be greatly appreciated.
