Keywords: Western Digital Message-ID: <130728@unix.cis.pitt.edu> Date: 21 May 91 20:44:34 GMT Article-I.D.: unix.130728 Reply-To: al@unix.cis.pitt.edu (Alan M Lesgold) Distribution: usa Organization: Univ. of Pittsburgh, Comp & Info Sys Lines: 10 A colleague in another country is about to make a major hardware commitment for LAN technology for educational applications. He is likely to go with Western Digital as a supplier and asks whether there is any up-to-date information on the more recent WD PC-toEthernet interface boards, quality of tech support, survivability of the company, etc. Any advice (please use email and indicate whether I should include your comments in a posted summary or not) that I can pass on will be appreciated and will be helpful to helping kids in another country learn better in school. --Alan Lesgold
