HELLO,
I'M PLANNING TO BUY A HARD DRIVE IN THE NEAR FUTURE. I AM INTERESTED IN A
VULCAN INTERNAL HARD DRIVE. I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE HAS ONE AND WOULD SAY WH
AT THEY THINK OF IT. I MAY JUST END UP BUYING AN EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE. I WANT
AROUND 40 MEG, DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS?
THANKS,

I think if I were to buy another HD (excternal), it would either be the 45meg cartraige, or a 100 megger. _Shane Kingry Oh, if you do get a Vulcan, and it goes bad, plan on 3-8 weeks without it - that is, once you get through in AE's tech number (near impossible)

Yesterday I suffered a major malfunctio n on one of my cartridges... Appleworks 2.1 wrote over my directory blocks for some unknown reason. Luckily, I had another cartridge with similar files on it, so I was up and running in less than sixty seconds! But there are still some files on the original cartridge I'll have to scrape off :( >_Shane Kingry > >Oh, if you do get a Vulcan, and it goes bad, plan on 3-8 weeks without it - >that is, once you get through in AE's tech number (near impossible) If you get an Ehman drive, they have a 24hour replacement policy. For the first five years, they'll replace your HD in 24hrs while repairng your damaged one. ---------------------------------------- f Tennes Michael J.
