I'm going to get a 3.5" 1.44M floppy for my AT Clone.
I see advertisements for both Teac and Fujitsu brand drives.
Which is better? Is $89 with 1 year warranty a good price for a Teac?
Email or post,
thanks,
Jeremy

The Teac drive came w/my Gateway; works great. $89 sounds like a good price to me. Don't know anything about the Fujitsu.

Testing that I did under XENIX/386, MSDOS, and IBM-AT Diagnostics indicated that in every case the 5.25 was at least marginally faster, and in some cases significantly faster than the 3.5. Is this always true? I have no idea of the internal vendors involved. I would like to go to 3.5" disks as a replacement for my SyQuest 5MB drive, which has served me well, but I'm worried about it becoming senile in its old age. Can someone recommend a 3.5" drive that is faster the others, or are there any differences? -- --- Clarence A Dold - dold@tsmiti.Convergent.COM (408) 435-5293 ...pyramid!ctnews!tsmiti!dold FAX (408) 435-3105 P.O.Box 6685, San Jose, CA 95150-6685 MS#10-007
