Sorry, but my previous post was a litle erroneous in that the manufacturer is actually Micropolis. My apologies to Microprolis for the mistake. Anyway, Coming soon: Micropolis 2112 1 Gig. 3.5" hard disk drive 10 ms access time Typical power consumption of 12 Watts Utilizes SCSI-2 interface up to 10 Mbyte/s transfer rate Supports command queuing 256 Kbyte command buffer/data cache Initial shipments to start in 3rd quarter of this year and expected prices of about $1/Mbyte in 1992 No release pricing was given. Well, sounds like a great product and I still think that Next should look into a portable with this drive coming out. All they really need now is a suitable display technology for a megapixel display. Maybe Electolumiscent. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scott Fields slfields@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu University of Oklahoma --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
