Does anyone know the manufacturer of the 400MB hard drives shipping in the
NeXT? I'd like to replace the 105MB in my slab. 

Second question: Is there an external implementation of the 256MB "floptical"?
I understand it uses proprietary control hardware on the cube. Does this
preclude a SCSI implementation of the drive? I have a slab and think an 
external "floptical" would be a quantum leap over tape.  

Thanks,
Alan
