I am interested in buying a 20 MB external hard disk for an IBM pc.  Does
anyone have experience with mail order hard disks.  There are at least two
companies in Texas offering very good prices, but I would like to know if
they are for real.  One is called "PC's Limited" in Austin and they are
selling a 20 MB Microscience external for $975.  Are these likely to be
marginal drives that have flakey sectors?  If there are many replies I will
post them to this group.
