- I'm not so sure on the Micropolis chambers, but the Fujitsu's are worth
- every damn penny, no matter what the price. Not only do they come with a 5
- year warranty (if it dies, Fujitsu want to borrow your system to find out
- what killed their chamber :-) but it's fully SCSI-2 capable, something that
- you can use to great advantage on the Quadra.
-
- If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't look any further than a Fujitsu.
