Logicsoft is based in Farmingdale, NY, and advertises with multipage
foldout cardboard inserts in various glossy PC magazines.
From Logicsoft, I ordered a Seagate ST-238 MB hard disk and a NEC
Multisynch, both to plug into the "Standard Turbo-88", ordered separately
(See: Mail Order Experience 2: Compuadd). Logisoft does not charge extra
for using credit cards, so I charged them on my American Express Card to
take advantage of their extended warranty offer. Incredibly, Logicsoft also
ships Federal Express AIR, (again no extra charge!), so they arrived in
*three days*.
It's hard to go wrong with a Multisynch and a Seagate, but there were
some nice touches in the latter case. The drive came partitioned, formatted,
and sysed, with a disk parking program installed in the root directory.
(Could have gotten lost if I had partitioned or maybe low-level formatted
without checking first. Moral: Check first.) The accompanying Adaptec
ACB-2070 controller card was also appropriately configured.
Prices were competitive ($539 for the Seagate; $599 for the Multisynch)
and the only extra cost was $23 for "insurance and handling", much less than
the sales tax I didn't have to pay. I don't know about the quality of their
house brands, but if you know what you want (15% restocking fee, if you
guessed wrong), for name brands, Logicsoft is hard to beat. Highly
recommended.
