Bill,
   Microbotics was at our last meeting (July 26) and demo'd their
harddisk.   $1995 will get you a 20-Meg drive that hooks to your
parallel port.   What their doing is getting the parallel port to
act as a SCSI port.   It looked reasonably fast but too pricey....

   They told us that they would be shipping in a week and a half
(that makes it sometime this week).    Their 2-Meg RAM cards should
start shipping 6-weeks from then.   Sorry, I don't remember the
price for it although it's s'pose to have a real-time clock on it
plus some other little goodies.

   If you're interested, contact

	Michael C. Pinson (Customer service manager)

	MicroBotics, Inc.
	POBox 855115

Disclaimer:  I have only seen the device work (and it appeared to
work) and I have no affiliation with the company (nor does my
employer that I know of) not even as a customer.
