	In this month's A+ [May 1989], there is an article on making a
"homebrew hard drive." It seems to me to be a very informative article...
It's probably what I'll do when I get a harddrive...

	It's interesting, their homebrew 60mb drive is $711 (or $11.85 per
megabyte)...An APPLE 40 megabyte drive is $1508 (or $37.70 per megabyte)..

	And the homebrew drive -is- a SCSI drive...Price obviously includes
case, cables, fan, etc...
