Pre'spect Technics Inc PO Box 670, Station H Montreal, Quebec H3G 2M6 Phone: 514/954-1483 Fax: 514/876-2869 Not bad...$200 for 80 megs (28ms access time, 400Kb/sec transfers) The only complaint is that the whole setup is software controled (it is available in autoboot and reboot(after loading from disk))...in the end, I'm left with about 750Kb on a 1Meg system...(they did have a few good suggestions for RAM expansion though)...
