I have an NEC ESDI 3.5 hard drive in my recently purchased 386-25MHZ clone
(an 80 data machine.  anyone else out there have one).  Anyway, I'm not having
any problems, but a colleague of mine says that he doesn't trust 3.5 inch
hard drives.  Mine is 150 MB.  He is still purchasing full height 5.25 rather
than half height 3.5.

Question: (1) Anyone out there have a comment about the reliability of 3.5 inch
              150 MB hard drives.

          (2) Anyone else out there buy a machine made by 80 data.  They are 
              sold by "PC HOUSE" in Southern California.  Any Problems?
