Hi all,

This is my first time posting to the net so I hope I don't
screw it up too bad.

I have a question about hard drives for the Rainbow.  I just
recently bought a 'Bow at a surplus sale and I am looking
to save wear-n-tare on the floppies by installing a hard drive.
My question is: what is the best drive for the 'Bow (other than
DEC's drive as I am a college student without mucho bucks)?
Will the 'Bow handle drives larger than 10meg?  How much will
this hard drive upgrade cost me?

I have been reading this newsgroup for a couple of weeks now and
I am really glad to see others still using the Rainbow.  I wish
that there was a FidoNet board in my area that carries the Rainbow
echomail so that I don't have to wait for the summaries put up here,
but thanks to whomever is doing it.

You can send replies to me directly or you can post'em here as I
read this newsgropu regularly.
