Do you mean Fujitsu - I suppose so. What's the access time (and other
characteristics). I have data sheets for Fujitsu here, but the largest
is 1066 MB, is it the same but formatted?

-The best price I found is from Fast Access (Mal Steadman) 708-530-7749. 
-At $2198 + s/h (~$30 to Alaska) it seemed like a good deal ;^)
-They also sell a box to put it in for $275 (large power supply and holds
-two drives), a little high but I didn't want to skimp on power...

The price sounds reasonable. Here in Sweden it's $13,000... It's really
unbeleivable. I'm going to Florida in June/July this year (Ft. Lauderdale+
Orlando+Mexico) and am now thinking of waiting with my hard disk shopping...
Can someone help me to find a shop where I can buy one?

The other things I'm going to buy are probably a little to heavy, but even
with the special Developer Discount here in Sweden a 3000 is still more
expensive than normal retail price in USA...

-I have no affiliation with this company, just letting out some info;
-quite a few people on the net have purchased Fuji's through them (again,
-5 year guarantee) without any complaints.  I'll let you know how it goes...
