I am considering buying a large disk system (1.2 Gbytes + tape) from a 3rd
party supplier for my SparcStation. I have contacted the following vendors
for quotes. However, I do not know anything about

1. The quality of their products (e.g. power supply, box, controller)
2. Health of the company (i.e. will they exist longer than their 5year
   guarantee)
3. peoples past experiences with them.

Most are New England companies. I would appreciate any information that
you could give me on:

Peripheral Devices
Cornell Devices
Falcon Systems
Artecon
Northeast Peripherals
Hybrid Systems
Impediment

Thank you
