Hello,
It is time for me to consider additoinal storage once
again, as my source code is about to spill out of the external drive.
Since I have no funds for a hard disk (me poor grad student, me?!),
and since I remember someone mentioned that they were able to purchase
a Panasonic drive for about $100 and modify it as a 3rd drive,
I now ask: would folks out there who know the whereabouts of
such economical drives and a simple part list/diagram of the conversion
please e-mail me? (or post it if the return mail doesn't get anywhere,
as I have trouble getting mail nowadays.)
Thanks in advance,
clc
PS: while you're at it, would anyone like to comment on the reliability
of the Avatex 1200 baud modem?

Another colleauge has had the same results. We picked them up at user groups for $99, I think. That has got to be one of the best peripheral bargains around, condidering how many new worlds a modem opens up.
