	I'm collecting information and sources of Hard Drive products.
Specifically at this time I'm looking for a place that sells the Omti
SCSI 3257 Adaptor.  I'm up to page 191 of the Computer Shopper and after
calling all hard-drive vendors there I've yet to find one that sells the
Omti (or even the Adaptec) adaptor. I've also called all the Amiga specific
vendors in Amiga Weird.

	Anyone have any info on these adaptors?  Which one is better? An
article in Amazing Computing says the Omti allows 1-1 interleave while the
Adaptec can only handle 3-1.  Is this true?

	Should a get a SCSI drive instead?  I'm putting these components
together myself to save money (I have an A1000) .  Any advice welcome.

Thanks!

[PS TO MIKE MOHAR - I hope your setup is working out - I'll call you soon]
