THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION you may have about a recommended Ext. HD
for the SE.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

I have heard good things ($$ per meg) about mail order prices for these 
Hard drives.  Would anyone that has experiences with any of these
please Email to me (our UNIX system purges mail every other day
unexpectedly so I CANNOT rely on it for the news).  If you cannot Email,
then at least post to this newsgroup and I'll hope to see it.  My money
is burning holes in my pockets ...

	1.  Miniscribe 60 Meg

	2.  MiniScribe 160 Meg (to be on the market Feb '89)

	3.  Rodime 144 Meg

If you know of any RECENT PRODUCT REVIEWS, please also share.  I'll post
the responses if the traffic is sufficient.

If you have a hard drive that is around $9.00 to $11.00 per meg and you
would recommend it, then please share that too.  I have seen ads in the
Apple Mags for large HD's going for around $9.00 per meg.  Is this a
sign of poor quality ?  Or what ?

THANKS  ...  IN  ...  ADVANCE  !!!

You also might look into the Seagate ST277N. This 60mb drive will cost
anywhere from $425 - $475. It works fine in the Tulin enclosure ($119).
