Hi,

I own a  small GBBS system running off an Apple //c with a UniDisk 3.5
Being (at present) a small BBS, it managed to fit on one disk for the
better part of a year. Unfortunately, it has now grown to the point 
where it will no longer fit onto one disk, and I am forced to start
looking for a hard drive.

Unfortunately, the only hard drive that I have managed to locate  that
is //c-compatible is a Chinook unit, which costs in excess of $700 for
a 20-megabyte system.

Being a non-profit (read: small loss) BBS, I simply can't afford this.
I've given up on sponsorship, as  local companies seem totally apathetic
to BBS's, and it goes against my principles to charge money for a BBS.

This is NOT a begging letter for sponsorships [although any such offers
will be greatly appreciated ;-)]. What I do need to find, though, is a
somewhat cheaper hard disk for my //c.

Does anyone 'out there' know of another make of hard disk for the //c?
I know that ProApp used to make something to that effect, but it (the
drive AND the company) seems to have vanished. Or, perhaps, does anyone
have a second-hand unit that they would be prepared to offload at a
rock-bottom price?
