- Hello everybody,
-
- I am in the market for something bigger than 500 megs ...
-
- I expect the solution to be less than 3000 CDN$ ...
-
- For what I have seen yet, big Hard-Disks are still not affordable.
- May be I should consider buying something like a 128 megs floptical drive or
- a 650 floptical HD, like the Pinnacle Micro...
-
- Also I intend to use the device under OS/2 with a Gateway 2000 DX2-50 ISA
- system.
-
- Also, if I get another HD, this means that I have to add 400$ + 100$ for
- Tape Backup Hardware+Software ... So I can tolerate a +/- ~ 400$ margin.
-
-
- I would appreciate comments from anybody using this kind of setup ...
-
- Replies by E-Mail will be much more appreciated ...
