     I have lately had a brief chance to use a Microtech hard drive for the
Mac.  I was impressed.  Access time was fast.  THE WARRANTY, I believe, WAS
5 YEARS!!!!!!  It is solid, well-designed and seems to be well-conceived.
On the warranty card, I noticed that they want you to list the type of
computer you use.  Three macs and 3 IBMs were listed as options.  It's a 
SCSI device and sits under any of the small Macs (same footprint, good idea)
or next to a Mac II (which is heavier).
     Well, while I really want to support the current manufacturers of Amiga
hard drives (and may soon buy one), I also feel that good companies that
manufacture good products would also make them available for the Amiga if
they had enough letters to indicate a possible market.  If you are interested
in info on their products (I have no connection whatever with this company,
I just really liked the professional look and design of their product and
the warranty backing says a lot), they are:
