I just bought the identical Maxtor 660 MB disk for a fraction of the price from Marcus at International Data Systems, 12800 Garden Grove Blvd. #E, Garden Grove, California 92643, phone (714)530-8677. One year's swap maintenance was included. I am delighted with the price, delivery, and ease of installation. There are also some faster and/or larger SCSI drives which have recently been posted, but some of them require physical modification (brackets and cables) and/or changes to fstab. One you might investigate is the new Hitachi DK515C-78, a 780 MB (unformatted) SCSI drive with a 16 ms average access time and a 100,000-hour MTBF! I'd be interested to know what it would take to install that one in a NeXT. Their phone number is (800)283-4080, Ext. 877. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Walter C.
