Oh I can echo the comments about the Tidbit range. I have an 80mb Drive I
bought in (IIRC) 1991 (for £199 from Diamond Computers), which I only
replaced about 6 months ago. It *never once* gave me a scrap of trouble, and
I usually run my system 24/7 so thats around.... ooh 70 odd thousand hours,
and it`s solid, quiet and (for the time) quick.
