David,

Correct, if those prices were for 'bare' drives, then they wouldn't be very
good. But those are prices for COMPLETE drives, that means they include
Drive, PowerSupply, Case, and SCSI Cable. All you need is the SCSI card and
you are all set. Thus their price is amazingly good, but is it *too* good?

Does anybody have any horror stories regarding Ehman? Or better yet, does
anybody have any success stories regarding them. Heck, does anybody out there
even HAVE and Ehman drive on their IIgs?
