Hi,
I have been offered a Quantum 105MB HD for a great price, and I am
inclined to take the offer. At the moment I have a bog-standard
2.04 A1500. I was planning (in about three/four months) to buy a GVP
030 Combo Board, which has a SCSI controller built in. However, my
resources don't stretch that far right now.

My problem is, should I buy a cheap SCSI controller now, so I can use
the HD immediately, then get rid of it in a few months when I can afford
the GVP Combo unit, or should I buy the HD, hold out for a few months
without using it and then just buy the GVP?

Please help, as I don't know what to do. I shall provide the serial
numbers of the HD to help all you gurus advise me what controller to
get. It is a Quantum ProDrive, and the numbers alongside the two
bar-codes (on the top) are:
	0005181-8932002116
	3701200-06
There are also numerous other numbers which I might as well throw in
too:
	105S
	910-10-9403
	10907240205
	0099

It has a 50-way (SCSI) cable & plug, and a four-way (power?) plug.
Any ideas about controllers, or if anyone has one to sell, please
mail me. BTW, the cheapest controller I can find in the UK is
the 'Dataflyer', for about 60 pounds Sterling, thats about
$90/100 (US). Is this good? Or is it a dud?

Thanks in advance,
