As this would be my first hard drive, I will need a scsi controller. Does it matter which controller I get? Does anyone have any experience with this drive or any advice on whether or not this is a good idea? (I have been told that a "normal" hard drive would be better as my first drive and a removable one would be a good second drive) I'm kind of looking at the removable drive from an economic standpoint (i.e. This would be my only drive and yet I could buy several cartridges and, in essence, have a 88 or 132 meg capacity hard drive.) Any comments or suggestions (posted or emailed) will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Michelle -- _______________________________________________________________________________ Michelle Ketcham mketcham@sdcc13.ucsd.edu
