I have narrowed my choices down to the following three advertisements: MacLand has a Quantum 170 Mb 15ms drive for $949,- Alliance Peripheral Systems has a Quantum 170 Mb 12ms drive for $999,- Ehman has a 180 Mb (no access time mentioned) drive for $900,- In this group you must be tired of seeing this kind of question all the time. But if you know anything at all, good or bad, about these three drives (or can point me to yet another choice) please mail me about it. I would really appreciate getting your opinions: it is difficult to get adequate information about these things here in Holland. Thanks in advance, -- Leo Breebaart (leo @ duttnph.tudelft.nl)
