- If you're still interested in purchasing these drives, D.O.S.
- Marketing Corp is selling the 1.2 GB drive for $875 with a 3 month
- warranty, and $1000 for the same drive with a 1 year warranty.
- Their number is 212-226-1626
-
- Personally, I think you'd be better off spending a few hundred more
- and buying a name-brand drive. For example, East Coast Electronics
- (508-683-0339) and Dirt Cheap Drives (800-872-6007) both sell the
- Toshiba SCSI 438FB (877MB/12ms/3.5"/half height) for $1050.
