My wife has finally (after 3 years) given me permission to buy a hard
drive for my 1040ST.  My original thoughts were to roll my own, using
a Seagate 65M, 28ns (don't remember the number off the top of my head)
drive.  However, in the June 1990 issue of ST World I saw an ad
from D & P Computer Supply for some complete hard drive systems that
use Seagate drives and the ICD host adaptor and comes in an enclosure.
I assume that it also has a power supply built in.  The prices
($655 for the 65M drive) sound reasonable, since all of the work is
already done.  

My question:  Has anyone had experience with D & P Computer Supply
in general, and with their hard drives in particular?  Any advice, 
good or bad, would be deeply appreciated.  Please e-mail, I will
summarize if asked.

Thanks a lot!
