Interesting, I just received a BEST ELITE 386/33-0 with a Maxtor 200Mb
hard disk which is mounted vertically in a tower case.  This is how it
was installed at the manufacturer.

BTW, I was supposed to get a Connors 200Mb 15ms drive and got a Maxtor
200Mb with unknown access time drive.  Anyone care to comment?  Which
is better?
