   Not these drives, he can't.  The Amiga drives have a builtin cache,
   and decent access times.  For his prices you might as well use
   floppies ;-).

Numerous mail order firms are selling Quantum 105M 28ms SCSI hard
drives in the vicinity of $350 internal/$400 external.... that's a
fine price/performance ratio as far as I'm concerned!  Not quite
monstrous speed, but since I've got a 500, who cares :)  I would post
which companies, but I don't have any copies of MacWeek handy (by now
they should be hitting Computer Shopper too).

(Anyone wanna say what speed/type/etc. of drive comes in 3000's these
days?)
