I am looking for a hard disk for my S-100 (IEEE-696) system. Cost IS the
object. I don't want to spend a lot of money on this. I am willing to
make price/performance trade-offs. 

BYTE has lots of ads. My question to the community...

What would you recommend (remember price counts)?
What should be avoided?
Why do you make this suggestion? Speed/reliability/support/gut feeling...

I would like about 10Mbytes with the ability to expand up to larger
storage later. It MUST adhere to IEEE-696 (proposed) as much as
possible, especially the addressing.

Responses to ...!decvax!sytek!zehntel!ed and I will summarize for all to
see. 

Thanks,

	I am preparing to purchase a winchester style hard disk for
my PC. Anyone out there have any recomendations/warnings. I will
be using it extensively, so I do not want a lemon!

Can anyone supply me with info regarding the following hard disk systems?
      I am mainly interested in comments from people who have them or
      know of someone who has them.  Any problems with them?
