Hi there. I am going to be getting a Mac II soon (I can hardly wait!), but I
need a hard drive for it. I have about $1000 to spend, and I am looking for
megabytes in preference to speed (though that would be nice). Does anyone have
any suggestions? I would like to squeeze 80 Meg from that $1000, but can I?
I saw an ad for the LaCie 80 Meg CMS drive, for about $1000. Is it worth it?
Can it be true. I would appreciate any help you can offer.

See if your college has an agreement with Rodime. At Tech we can get a 140 meg Rodime internal drive for about ~$1200. And I beleive there is a 100 meg Rodime internal that is about ~$1000 at educational prices. Good Luck, Tonia' Mahyra

We have 5 of their drives in our lab and we will get more i'm sure. We haven't had any problems at all with them. -- Tony Jacobs * Center for Engineering Design * U of U * t-jacobs@ced.utah.edu
