- I'd stay away from Figitzsu. On the other hand, I can only recommend that you
- get a Fujitsu disk drive :-) I'm using one with 386BSD. I bought an IBM disk,
- model 0663-L12. This is a piece of crap. I sent it back and am now waiting

- There are several different lines sold under the Seagate name. Most of them
- have problems, or so I've heard. I've stayed clear of them.
