On page 14 of Electronic News, dated Monday, Oct. 29, there is an announcement for a new Conners hard disk. Some specs are: 3.5" form-factor (1.6" actual hight), 510MByte, 6-platter, 256KByte cache, 12 msec average seek time, AT or SCSI interface, $1,295 in quatities of one, model number CP-3500. Maybe this would be able to fit in a slab and we could throw the 105 MByte disk away. -Ken Martin

In the November 5 issue of ELectronic Buyers News there is an article about new high-capacity 3.5" drives from Fujitsu. To summarize: M262xSA/T Series drives: ------------------------------------- -three models discussed offering formatted capacities of 520, 425, and 330 meg. -average positioning time (seek time? I dunno...) of 12 ms -rotational speed of 4,400 rpm -240K read-ahead cache buffer -SCSI and AT interfaces available [and finally, the prices...] -Evaluation quantity prices: 520M - $1750, 425M - $1,500, 330M - $1,250 The article also mentions some Maxtor drives that were talked about in a previous issue. From memory the specs for these go something like: 535M and 435M (approx.) formatted, read-ahead cache, access time in the low teens, 3.5" form-factor, SCSI interface as well as AT (IDE) and/or ESDI. -Lance -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lance Jones Mail forwarded to: Veterinary Computer Network jonesl@vet.vet.purdue.edu
