I am talking about 1 Gb or larger hard disk. Just a suggestion: Make sure that it has at least parity, or even better EDAC. There might only be a 1/100 million chance of a bit error, but the more bits you have the greater tha chance. There's nothing worse than the system falling over after 18 hours of ray-trace. The extra cost is well worth it. No I don't know of anybody who make the things for Zorro III. Disks, you can get almost anywhere. HP make some neat ones, wit high transfer rates, as are the nes "Elite" drives which are all too rare. -- Bernd Felsche, _--_|\ #include Metapro Systems, / sale \ Fax: +61 9 472 3337 328 Albany Highway, \_.--._/ Phone: +61 9 362 9355 Victoria Park, Western Australia v Email: bernie@metapro.DIALix.oz.au
