Unfortunately, when I called our company's local rep for Fast Access, I was told that they don't have any more of the drives in stock. Worse yet, it seems that the sudden interest for a drive with this price has made them extinct on stock room shelves everywhere. Fast Access says they probably not get another shipment of drives from Fujitsu until around the Feb/Mar time border. Anyone else know of an alternate source selling these drives? It looks like Chris got one of the last ones from Fast Access. _______________________________________________________________________________ Ernie Chan |...!uunet!motcid!chan Motorola Radio Telephone Systems Group |chan@mot.com (708)632-6685-- _______________________________________________________________________________ Ernie Chan |...!uunet!motcid!chan Motorola Radio Telephone Systems Group |chan@mot.com (708)632-6685
