ABCO is for real, and is run by Ralph Mariano, editor of ST Report.
ABCO is located in Jacksonville, FL. Get any issue of ST REPORT (online
on GEnie) for his address.

	I bought a dual Seagate 65 Meg (over 130 meg formatted!) hard drive
system from ABCO last November. It took 3 weeks from when I sent in the
check to when the drive was Fed Exxed to my home in Phoenix AZ. ABCO uses
a custom cabinet and a VERY nice switching power supply. The DMA interface
is daisy chained so that I can hook my SLM804 controller to the drive's
output. I have used it a lot in the last 8 months with no faults. The drives
are 28 ms drives and so are FAST.

	And I got a great price. Just tell Ralph that Richard Covert referred
you and you can deal him down from his list prices. ABCO sells a wide range of
drives and will custom build yours if needed. ABCO uses Seagates but will use others
if you ask.

	All in all, I have been very pleased with my dual SEagate drives from ABCO.
