Is there some answer to this probably-frequently-asked-question
sitting in a file at some archive site somewhere --

	o What third party hard disk drives will work well with a NeXT?
	  (Slab in my case)

	o How to properly configure/obtain disktabs?

	o Where to buy them, with what connectors?

Like gazillions of other poor college students before me, I plan
on buying a 150Mb Slab and making it into a development system
by getting an external big disk drive, and then probably swapping
the two after dumping a bootable system to the big drive from
a friend's Next.

If there is no answer to this FAQ, I'd be glad to organize and maintain
one on an archive site myself. Any hints then, appreciated.
