Hi all!
I am considering purchasing a 105 Mb external hard drive for my IIx,
and having read Macworld's latest review and surveyed the boards, I am
still uncertain about which one to get.
My criteria are:
Price: less than $800 (but I'm flexible)
Drive: Quantum mechanism preferred
Noise: Needs to be very quiet!
Misc: Must have power supply/fan (no portables!)
Software: Need only decent driver and formatting software
Company: Would like to avoid fly-by-night-operators!
If it's any help, my IIx runs 6.0.4, with 5 Mb ram, 80 Mb internal hard
drive and 1 floppy.
Two that I am considering are Hard Drives Intl and Macland. What do you
think? Please mail replies to me - I'll summarize if there's interest.
