We are looking to add a 300 MB External SCSI Disk Drive to our 3B2/600.  We
checked with AT&T and they want > $7300 for one even with our VAR discount.

PEC		Description		Cost

73277		SCSI Connect Kit	$ 170.00
36205		300S Disk Module	$7140.00

		Total			$7310.00

Does anyone know where we can find a more REASONABLE price for an external
SCSI drive?  The SCSI connect kit is very reasonable, but the drive is
outrageous.  I have seen 300MB SCSI drives for ~$1800-$2000.

Does anyone know who makes the drive AT&T sells?

Are there any companies that have a more reasonably priced upgrade?

Please e-mail responses to me, I will summarize and post what I find out.
