Hi,

I've been trying for the last 3 weeks to buy a hard drive for my A3000. 
Unfortunately, the company I chose to buy from simply can't get itself
organised. Even more unfortunately, it is the only company selling 80Mb
SCSI drives at a reasonable price (about 10 pounds above what most other
companies offer for 40Mb drives). 

So, being pretty desperate for an 80Mb drive, at less than 500 pounds,
I have thought about buying a SCSI card, and hooking it up to a SCSI
drive made for PC machines. Has anyone tried this approach? Is it
guaranteed to work for any card/drive combination? What is the cheapest
I could do this for?

If anyone is selling an 80Mb drive, could they let me know?

(Replies here or e-mail)

Thanks all,
Neil.
