  I bought a "Standard" 60-meg system from them, which is a Seagate 277N
in a full-height enclosure and a Supra controller.  You also get a
6-foot SCSI cable and the docs for the drive and controller.  I plugged
it in, turned it on, booted from the Supra boot floppy, and everything
has been working great since.  My cost (including next-day shipping) was
$790.  I haven't seen a better deal for 60 megs for the 1000.  I asked
them to make two 30-meg partitions, and they put about 10 meg of Fish
stuff on the second partition.  Both partitions are FFS.

  Only problem so far is that the drive makes a lot more noise than my
1000 does.  I'd gotten used to almost complete silence.
