- I am thinking about buying a new hard disk for my gateway 2000 486/33ISA. I got
- some very good deal on the fujitsu 520mb(12ms) IDE internal drive. I heard it
- has good quality, plus it comes with 5 years warenttee. But I remember I heard
- somebody said before that it is not a very good idea to buy large IDE drives.
- Is it true and why? Should I buy a SCSI drive instead? If yes, do I need to
- buy a SCSI adaptor and other things? Also for these GW2000 owners who tried
- this hard disk in your computer, any good or bad experience? Any info. is
- deeply apreciated.

- Please send your advice to tgao@cad.cs.uiuc.edu. I borrowed my friends
- accounts to post this news.
