I feel a minimal size hard disk for development is 300 megs. More,
if you want to develope for Sybase. A source for cheap SCSI is
the back of MacWeek. For example, APS at 1-800-233-7550 advertises
a 300mb internal hard disk for $1499, and external for $1649.

I am sure there are even better prices out there... if anyone knows
of them, please post.

If you are interested in getting the best bang for your buck in
configuring a development NeXT, check out issue #2 of Tao, available
in j.cc.purdue.edu and cs.ubc.ca anonymous ftp archives, on the
article, "Thin Wallet NeXT", for some ideas.
