[comp.sys.next] Larger hard disks with NeXTstation...

hsg@duke.cs.duke.edu (Henry Greenside) (12/14/90)

A NeXT representative here at Duke said that they will
soon be switching from 340 MB to 425 MB hard disks for
the "high-capacity" nextstation configurations, with
the price unchanged. Since 2.0 extended is suppose to
take up about 260 MB, this leaves more breathing room.

This sounds like a better deal than the original
configuration, but I am curious if anyone knows about
prices and availabilities for 340 MB disks and larger
that will fit into a NeXTstation and cost less than the
difference between the standard and high-capacity
configurations (about $1800 at Duke).

Someone had mentioned in comp.sys.next a 550 MB disk
that might be forthcoming.  Is there anymore news of
its existence and suitability? I will summarize any
useful replies to the net.
