:pretty sure they make a 160 meg. So, Quantum can make big drives. Maybe they
:don't make a 760 meg drive, but nobody makes a 760 meg 3.5" 1/2 height yet.
:(I say yet because the technology exists to make 4-800 meg HD's)

	Quantum recently announced two more high capacity models that store
330M and 425M. It seems everyone is in the middle of a 'my 3.5 inch HD is
bigger than yours' war right now. :-) With the two new low end drives
(50 and 100M) Quantum now has seven models ranging from 50M to 425M.
