km@mathcs.emory.edu (Ken Mandelberg) (01/03/90)

There are now announced 5.25 inch drives in the 1.7GB/$5K range
from several manufacturers (Imprimis,Maxtor,HP). Has anyone 
managed to get hold of one for a Sun?

we have 2 imprimis elite drives on order.
they are 5.25in 1.5GB SCSI-2 drives.
the evaluation kits are about $4K (including power supplies)
and are due around mar/apr.
(we will use them on mips hardware.)

From where?? This is about $1.5k cheaper than I've seen them
anyplace else.

Thanks.
