[comp.sys.next] NeXTstep Release 2.0 and 300MB HD

cs00jec@unccvax.uncc.edu (Jim Cain v2.0.1) (11/13/90)

I'm ordering a 105MB NeXTstation tomorrow. The 340MB is way to much
for the additional storage, so I'm going to look for a third-party
drive. This leads to two questions (please forgive; I'm sure this has
been asked before but I can't find anything about it):

1.  Where could I find a good 300MB or so hard disk at a decent price
    (say around $1000 or so)?

2.  How do I go about getting the full 2.0 Extended system once I
    have room for all of it?

Thanks for the help.

(P.S.: Once I get the station [end of the month] expect many
novice questions.)

I don't know if it works on a NeXT, but the 330M Harddrive
from Toshiba is rather good.  It is around $1100 from many
discounted stores.  I know that it works on a PC quite well.

I ordered a 105 MB cube two weeks ago, and ordered the 2.0 Extended on
2.88 disk (I HOPE i ordered it on 2.88 -- they might have said optical. 
humm.... I better make that 2.88 or order an Optical drive also).
