For those of us who are into assembling their own hard disks, and particular for people who have bought into the recent sell-out of Newbury drives ... ...I created an email-discussion group mailable as: NEWBURY@RASCAL.ICS.UTEXAS.EDU which you can join by sending a request to: NEWBURY-REQUEST@RASCAL.ICS.UTEXAS.EDU a reasonable amount of hardware and software knowledge is expected. we will not be able to instruct complete novices in how to get a hard disk built cheaple - I would consider this a disservice anyway, because I do not think novices can do that safely and not run into insurmountable problems with hardware and/or software sooner or later. recent topics were: sources of enclosures, power supply specs, formatting and driver software ...
