I have been researching the various drives (esp. looking for problems) in the scsi, sun, and mips (and other) groups, and have decided to purchase the Fuji 1.2 GB drive (for use with Series II). The best price I found is from Fast Access (Mal Steadman) 708-530-7749. At $2198 + s/h (~$30 to Alaska) it seemed like a good deal ;^) They also sell a box to put it in for $275 (large power supply and holds two drives), a little high but I didn't want to skimp on power... I have no affiliation with this company, just letting out some info; quite a few people on the net have purchased Fuji's through them (again, 5 year guarantee) without any complaints. I'll let you know how it goes... - Lance

Do you mean Fujitsu - I suppose so. What's the access time (and other
characteristics). I have data sheets for Fujitsu here, but the largest
is 1066 MB, is it the same but formatted?

The price sounds reasonable. Here in Sweden it's $13,000... It's really
unbeleivable. I'm going to Florida in June/July this year (Ft. Lauderdale+
Orlando+Mexico) and am now thinking of waiting with my hard disk shopping...
Can someone help me to find a shop where I can buy one?
The other things I'm going to buy are probably a little to heavy, but even
with the special Developer Discount here in Sweden a 3000 is still more
expensive than normal retail price in USA...
