Folks:

We would like to add more disk space to our Multimax-310.
We currently have a single MSC adapter, with 9 ~600Mbyte spindles.
We are thinking of buying a bunch of 1.2Gbyte drives.
Encore remarkets the Wren-7 drives for this purpose.

If anyone knows of any 3-rd party suppliers specializing in
Encore disk storage, we would very much appreciate hearing
what you have to say (good or bad).  

We have already been contacted by National Peripherals Inc,
a 3-rd party supplier that does specialize in Encore.
If anyone has had experience dealing with NPI, please drop us a note
and let us know if you are a happy customer.

Finally, does anyone know if used/refurbished MSC cards are available 
anywhere?  The huge pricetag for a new card is scaring us away.

PLEASE RESPOND TO ME VIA E-MAIL:  I AM NOT A SUBSCRIBER TO THIS LIST.
(although I probably should be :-)

Many many thanks,
Bob Enger
