Sorry, guess I left out a few things there.  Yes it is considerably faster
than the Sider ][, but Sider now has a chip that allows the old Siders and
Sider ][s to operate at a considerably faster rate, so I could not honestly
tell you just what the difference in speeds is at this time, since I still
have the old Sider ][ hard drive, and not a new one.

I may get flamed for this but I don't care since a good flame helps your
opinions every now and then.

You or anyone else that buys a harddrive or any major piece of equipment from
a mail order service that is NOT in-STATE is a fool as far as I am concerned. 
This opinion of mine has been fostered from living in Japan for three years
and being screwed over royally by a _number_ of so-called mail order houses. 
(Please note this is my opinion and not that of any of my employers, even
though they have been screwed over by mail-order, also!)  I bought the hard
drive through the Heath/Zenith store, adn highly recommend them versus any
other for prices (at least in Hawaii). The people at (excuse my profanity)
Computerland/Hawaii have some wierd ideas about selling computers to home
users, so I got lucky.  Check Heath/Zenith if there is one near you, as they
are authorized dealers for CMS hard drives. (Please note, I am in no way
associate with Heath/Zenith, other than the fact that I really like and
appreciate the way the guys here in Hawaii seem to care about their customers
after the buck has been passed!)

P.S.  DOCKMASTER I see that you also emailed me a copy of this but I never
received it.  Could be that our lines don't connect.  Please try again.
