[discussion about group for discussion about hard disks]

Well most people will be more interested in how to hook up a hard drive to
their particular computer, rather than a general discussion about the hard
drives themselves. I think that's what brought this discussion about in the
first place.

I, for one, neither want to listen to other people talk about how to hook IBM
or Apple, or Atari hard drives up, nor want to subject those people to
discussion on how to hook up an Amiga with a hard drive. Even though the hard
drives themselves may be the same for each computer, hooking them up, mounting,
and formatting them is different for each type of computer. I think the
discussion of how to hook peripherals to a particular brand should stay in the
particular comp.sys.* group for that computer.

So let's keep Amiga hard drives in comp.sys.amiga, IBM hard drives in
comp.sys.ibm-pc, etc. If you want to discuss the hard drives themselves, then
you can use comp.sys.periphs (I think that's the name of the newsgroup).
