Well, I know there's been tons of discussion on harddrives dying lately, so I figured I'd add too it! :-) My ST251 died (no, not stiction, it died while I was compiling ) and I would like to buy a new drive ( I'm going to get this thing fixed, most likely, but I want to replace it too ) so I thought I'd ask you people the question: - where? Where can I get a reasonable price on a midsized ( 40-80 M) SCSI _fast_ hard drive? No more of this ADAPTEC4000+ST506-type crap - tooooooo ssslllllooooowwwww .... I know someone was also selling some huge Maxtor ( I think ) drives a while ago - got any more? :-) What's the best I can get in the 1000-1500 (Canadian) price range? Thanx very much, Blair -- = Blair MacIntyre, bmacintyre@watcgl.{waterloo.edu, UWaterloo.ca} // = = now appearing at the Computer Graphics Lab, U of Waterloo! \X/ = = Ignore my opinions ... they are the product of an imagination preoccupied = = with sex, or so they tell me ... *sigh* =

There was someone out there who bought the last couple of hundred out from under me... Look for them to start showing up (At a much higher price than I had... :-( ) soon through the mail order places. In the mean time, I'm looking for another deal. : Thanx very much, : Blair : -- : = Blair MacIntyre, bmacintyre@watcgl.{waterloo.edu, UWaterloo.ca} // = : = now appearing at the Computer Graphics Lab, U of Waterloo! \X/ = : = Ignore my opinions ... they are the product of an imagination preoccupied = : = with sex, or so they tell me ... *sigh* = -- -Bill Seymour ...tektronix!reed!percival!agora!billsey ...tektronix!sequent.UUCP!calvin!billsey Bejed, Inc.
