[net.micro] S100 HARD DISK UPGRADE

brake@ari-hq1.ARPA (02/28/85)

   I have finally decided that it is time to upgrade my S100 system
to two disks. No more SWAPCOPY! However, I'm not sure if I want to
get another 8" Mitsubishi or a hard disk. Actually I know that I want
hard disk but the cost has been hard to justify. 

   This seems to be changing. I have seen ads. for Shugart 5 Mbyte Hard 
Disks for around $150 and a CompuPro Disk3 controller for around $500. 
The floppy will cost about $400. Now that I have decided to spend $400,
comming up with another $250 is a whole lot easier to justify.

   Questions: 

   Has anyone on the net done this or have any suggestions? 
   Are these disk drives any good? 
   Is the Disk3 any good?
