- Well, in my search for a reliable, inexpensive, easy
- to use hard drive, I've come across several glowing
- recommendations for the Toshiba MK-538FB, which is
- a 3.5" hard drive that's extremely fast, seems to
- be very reliable, and *formats* to 1.2GB. All for
- the price of ~$1400 by mail.
- So, my natural question is, has anyone here had any
- experiences setting one of these up to run on a
- NeXT? Is it plug and play? Does it require hacking
- to get NeXTStep to recognize it? (2.2 or 3.0?) My
- information source uses it on a 486-50 and is totally
- satisfied with its performance.
- Anyone who wants more info on how to get the product
- can e-mail me.
- Any comments on whether this device runs with a NeXT
- and how much work it takes to set up will be appreciated.
- Thank you!
