A/UX users:
  I've just ordered A/UX 1.1.1 on cassette tape, along with X11R3,
however I still haven't gotten a hard drive. I considered getting
the Apple 80 meg, but was told that with X and A/UX disk space would 
be cramped. So in short I'm in the market for a 100+ meg hard drive.

   I already have a internal 40 mag in my SE/30, and I want to keep 
that one strictly for MacOS type stuff. I've looked around for a 
third party drives, but I'm not sure what to get. The type of drive
I'd like to get is an external zero foot print with a 3.5" mechnism,
with software that will format it for a boot configuration. 

           Some of the drives I'm considering are:
                     
                     SuperMac DataFrameXP100 (not a zero footprint)
                     MicronNet 100
                     GCC UltraS 100
                     Mirror 100P
                     LaCie 100

                     
      Can anyone give me some ideas on what to get. I'm open for
any suggestions.
