I'm sort of amazed that there are so many people recommending Supra
Drives. I must have had a unique experience, but oddly with all the
ST hard drives we use at BDT, the *only* drives that have ever given
us trouble have been the Supra Drives and an Astra Drive. Even
the Atari drive, an original developers SH204, has worked without
failure (althoough I expect it will die someday soon becuase it
has a Seagate ST225 inside). We have many BMS 100 drives (34.5 MB),
2 Supra Drives, 1 Astra Drive, and 1 SH204 (all 20MB). Both Supras
have failed more than once - each time it has been the Supra interface
board. The Astra drive completely went away and it had to be
replaced with a BMS set-up.
