Maybe we could see who could configure >the cheapest hard drive on the list......? -Ed Here, I'll start spewing some prices I've found in last }iSunday's newspaper.. There are probably CHEAPER ones but I'm being too lazy to go get a whole ton of papers and look through them. This is from Nov 19th's San Jose Mercury News.. an 82 megabyte Seagate drive for $549.. The drive next to it says "RLL" and this one says nothing so I'm guessing it's SCSI. Always check up on me to make sure!! (unless you have an ESDI/SCSI or RLL/SCSI converter which a housemate_who_works_at_IBM says are easy to get) More random hard drive prices: Seagate 82 meg 28 ms 549 40 meg 24 ms 3.5" 389 40 meg 28 ms 349 20 meg 3.5" 249 20 meg 199 Miniscribe 72 meg 36 ms 569 157 meg --ESDI-- 1195 (wow expensive! I see 120 meg for 800) 40 meg 28 ms 339 that's enough for now. -- unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu
