I just ordered the SupraDrive A2000 interface (sure hope it was a good choice) and now I'm in search of a hard disk. I've never own a hard drive before and have no idea which brand would work reliablely in conjunction with a B2000. I would appreciate it if someone could lead me into the right direction. Please email and tell me which drive you would or would not recommend. BTW, I am mainly interested in 5.25" size hard disk. I could do a summary if I get a lot of responses. Thankyou!

I'm asking this question for Bill Hoston (farhi@athena.mit.edu). Please respond directly to him, and he'll summarize to the net. What is the best combination of a hard drive and controller for an A2000? Should I get a 2090A or wait for the 2091 to be released? How about a third party controller? Also, as I plan on attending an Amy expo soon, would I do better to purchase hardware there or get it through a dealer? Thanks! -Michael H. Coen mhcoen@athena.mit.edu

I just ordered a Microbotics HardFrame Controller, and I will be ordering a hard drive in a couple of weeks. I have an Amiga 2000 Rev. 4.3 with 1 MB of chip memory and 2 MB of fast (Micron). I'm looking to buy a 48 MB Seagate Drive with 28 MS access time, but I'm wondering how much faster a Quantum Pro Drive would be? The Quantum costs more and stores 40 MB, but I might be willing to buy it if will offer me significantly more performance. Thanks in advance, Stuart W. Pierce
