We have three here in our department working both with on the Mac and the IBM. The only catch is you need a SCSI card in order to connect it. Their # is 800-257-1666 (FAX) 307-789-4656 The price we paid was around $599 for a 45Mb. the cartriges run around $80. You might also try CUTTING EDGE - # 307-789-3830 You also need a SCSI card for this one. You may know this, but remember when you buy your SCSI card you need to specify whether you have an AT bus or Micro Channel. Gook luck.

They support Mac or IBM and the ad claims it works with Everything. It is a SCSI device, but you don't need a SCSI card. On the IBM it attaches to the parallel port, and the ad says it has 17ms access time. On the back of the drive you can attach your printer, or daisy chain another SCSI device! If everything in the ad is true, I'd love to get one myself. You can call for your free 30-day trial (408) 983-1127. And the address is Liberty Systems - The Multimedia Portable 122 Saratoga Ave, Ste. 16 Santa Clara, CA. 95051 If anyone is currently using one, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it, good or bad. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Froelich - Site Manager froelich@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu Univ. of Illinois froelich@uiucvmd.bitnet
