Could someone out there please recommend a good drive for a IIci.  I just
got a new one and wanted to get a 160mb to 180mb drive for it (external only).
I've seen listings for 160mb drives @16ms for $1145 based on the
Micropolis drive mech and 180mb drives @20ms for $1199 based on the
Fujitsu drive mech.  These seem like good prices but I don't have any
experience with these two drive mechanisms.  Are they reliable?  Has
someone found cheaper/faster drives anywhere.  My only requirement is that
it be 160-200mb and have an access time better than 20ms.  A price under
$1500 is also important as well.  Anyone suggestions??  Please reply to
me directly and I'll post a summary.  Thanx.  And by the way... the IIci is
awesome.  Once you've had a IIci you'll never go back to anything else!!
