Hard Drives International (1-800-736-3475) has an ad on page 283 of the August 1990 Computer shopper that lists several Mac Compatible (SCSI) drives. Prices for external drives range from $299 for a 20 Meg Seagate, $339 for a 30 Meg Seagate, $429 for a 45 Meg Quantum, on up. I purchased a "Mac Compatible" external drive from them in April of '89 and have had *NO* problems with it. I guess that's because they offer a decent guarantee. 8-) --- Cal // Cal Jones - Internet: <Jones@UV4.Eglin.AF.Mil> \X/ BBS: 904-243-6219 1200-9600HST 340Meg, all Amiga Single Tasking? *JUST SAY NO!!!*

HDI *used* to have good prices but they haven't kept up too well with the competition .. If you look at other places in Computer Shopper you'll find the 40-meg Quantum for $350-$380. No, I don't remember any particular place. Yes there were many places featuring that price. -- <- David Herron, an MMDF weenie, <david@twg.com> <- Formerly: David Herron -- NonResident E-Mail Hack <david@ms.uky.edu> <- <- Sign me up for one "I survived Jaka's Story" T-shirt!
