I am interested in third-party sources for disks for a MIPS M/120 system. I would like to purchase a ~600 Mbyte drive in a shoebox with a cable. I would prefer to buy from someone who knows what a MIPS computer is. Bill Pearson

Bill, do you know what a valid net address might be? g.

For power supplys, we got a PC-box from Digital Electronics (in the back of Byte magazine) that holds two drives for $149. make sure you say two wren drives as they have high current requirements. i just got some WREN VI's; it worked stratightaway after being plugged in on our MIPS machine. The advantages of a WREN VI are 1) the mips disktab is nearly right for them (the wren v entry is for some small wren v of about 330MB, ours where the 702MB ones). 2) they are bigger than wren v's by about 60MB 3) they have a faster seek time 4) cost only a tad more ($75 for us). 5) have a delivery time of about 3-4 weeks, not the 1 year that wren v's have.
