There seems to be a lot of companies selling Conner drives, really cheaply, and I can get a 3.5" 104 MB IDE drive *with* an IDE controller for $550.00 == this seems like an amazing price. HOWEVER -- I've been around computers long enough to know that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is, so I'm asking for the combined wisdom of the net.world on this one. Has anyone heard ANYTHING about these drives, good, bad, or indifferent. I know that Conner has been around for a while, but I'm very curious as to why they have recently been popping up for sale in *cheap droves*. Any answers are appreciated, e-mail or posted, and I'll summarize e-mailed responses if desired... ~~~Steve -- /************************************************* * *Steven Abrams abrams@cs.columbia.edu *
