Anyone out there used or know anything about removable hard disk drives? What is their reliability? For my applications (I dont run a BBS, and I would use a hard disk mainly for runing WP, comm stuff, and then on the flip side games and such) How much do extra disks cost, what is a good size, etc.. I know virtually nothing about them and now that I am in the market for a hard drive I am wondering if a removable 20MB hard disk might be better (and cheaper) than a 60 MB which is the minimum I need. Also, are there SCSI removable hard drives? Has anybody seen a setup on an IBM? Finally, I may be able to get my hands on a 60MB hard drive from an old IBM PS2 from work. How much work and at what cost can I hook it up to my ST? Are the internal drives that come with IBMs SCSI? I am electronically literate, just unfamiliar with hard drives so I would prefer some techie detail if possible. Email or post it if you think it would interest others...
