(170MB) I just got a Quantum ProDrive 170S yesterday. The number of physical blocks is 329133 or about 160Mb. Heck, I'm not complaining...it's one QUICK drive, even connected to a Macintosh (Read: 350Kbytes/sec on Plus, 1000Kbytes/sec on Mac II; writes about 15% slower). The drive came in an attractive case with power supply, fan, external SCSI ID selector, 50-pin Centronics connectors, cable, Mac formatting software, generic manual for $999 (internals go for $899, but I've seen them for $850 at ClubMac 714-768-1490, but APS will probably match pricing). We purchased through Alliance Peripheral Systems (APS) at 800-233-7550. We have also purchased a Wren V (600Mb) from them; very pleased with services rendered. Tell Paul I sent ya. APS carries 40, 80, 105, and 170 Quantums, most all CDC/Imprimus Wrens; ClubMac carries same Quantums, Connor, and Maxtor. #include _____________ "You're obvously misinformed...everything Chris Schanzle (Comp.
