Is there a reasonably priced hard drive for your home
computer?
If the price for 20M is over $900 or if there is not a hard
drive available for your computer please leave me a note with the
make of the computer, current price of a 20M drive and whether or
not it has a floppy drive controller installed. Don't just stop
there but tell me whether you would like a 20M hard drive for
$600.
Thanx in advance.

I am interested in getting a cheap hard-drive for my C64... here's what I can find: - JCT: 3.7Mb, $495 5 Mb, $595 10 Mb, $695 20 Mb, $795 - Lt. Kernal: 20 Mb: 949.95 (C128), $899 (C64) - Mini-Chief: 20 Mb, $795 40 Mb, 1195 (swiped this list from April 88 RUN magazine, pg 44) I THINK the disk controller is built in (you don't have to purchase a separate card for the floppy drive -- it just plugs into a built-in port... you can daisy chain up to 4 (?) drives or printers). If you can tell me where I can get a hard drive for the Commodore 64 or Commodore 128 for less than the above prices, PLEASE LET ME KNOW! These prices are ridiculous!!! I am just about to dump my system because a cheap hard-drive is not available for it. Ps: please don't flame me for mistakes in the C64 specifications.... I don't have my C64 manual with me. --Pete, Univ of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC = "U Must Be Crazee" :-) ARPA: pete@umbc3.umd.edu -or- pete@umbc2.umd.edu Bitnet: pete@umbc "Cobol is a virus from outer space"
