[comp.sys.laptops] Want info. on hard drives for Multispeed & Grid.

ericz@ucscb.ucsc.edu (Eric Zamost) (12/16/90)

I am looking for information about the peculiarities and availability
of 10Meg and 20Meg JVC hard drives for the NEC Multispeed and some of
the earlier Grid machines (I only lump them together because I think
they may use the same drives).  Are there other machines which can use
these drives, or other drives which can be used in these machines?

I think these machines use a proprietary ST-506-like interface, and I
am wondering if these drives are available from any third-party
vendors, and at what prices.  Also, if anyone has any comments about
their reliability, I'd like to hear them (I've been told that the 20Meg
drives on the Multispeed were not very reliable, but I have no evidence
of this).

(Dis?)Claimer:  I am interested in this because I may be getting some
10Meg drives of this type, and am wondering what sort of market there
is for them.
