We have almost exhausted the disk (no surprise) and would like to add a bigger disk (322Mb or even 600Mb). Sun wants $6600 (retail) for a 322Mb disk, but I am sure that we could do much - but much- better than that. If you have added a third party disk to your 386i, please let me know your experience. thoughts recommendations and/or caveats. Thanks! Alex Bykat PS. Even with 35% educational discount, the price seems to me way too high for a disk to be housed in that peripheral box. Acknowledge-To:
