Recent prices on a Conner CP-3200 200Meg SCSI drive are around $785.00. Figure it out in dollars/Meg and they look real competitive. From what I can see they are fairly good performers too. >I got very high praise for the quiet nature and low heat of the Conner >drives, the fact that Conner OEMS to COMPAQ, Conner drives are very >reliable, and they work well. They also OEM for DEC on their MicroVAX series of SCSI drives. I think DEC's RZ-23 is actually a Conner CP-3100. >Oh, just FYI, I got several notes that Miniscribes SUCK....but I cannot >testify to that other than I have returned 8 Blue Chip Miniscribe 40MB >drives in the past year while working at a computer store. Yeah, I think Miniscribe went belly up. You can still find a lot of their drives on the market. I'm not sure how well supported they are at the moment. -- Terry Jones {rutgers,uunet}!acsu.buffalo.edu!jones SUNY at Buffalo ECE Dept. or: rutgers!ub!jones You are in a maze of twisty little compiler features, all different.
