My 80 meg Quantum just bit the dust and I need a good, reliable replacement, though 200 megs is more than I *really* need, a 100-meg drive that fits on a hard card would be perfect! Speaking of the A2091, how good is it? How's Commodore's installation software and documentation? I've heard about very fast transfer rates...what are they?? Any other controller/disk combos out there, please chime in! I really need to know kinda fast!! Please E-mail to me at {backbone}!crash!pnet01!lgreen Thanks. Larry Greenwald
