I have heard that # the company that manufactor this brand of disk is closed and now we # see are the stocks they have. Maybe no warranty ...., So you need to # take care when you buy them. If you're still interested in purchasing these drives, D.O.S. Marketing Corp is selling the 1.2 GB drive for $875 with a 3 month warranty, and $1000 for the same drive with a 1 year warranty. Their number is 212-226-1626 Personally, I think you'd be better off spending a few hundred more and buying a name-brand drive. For example, East Coast Electronics (508-683-0339) and Dirt Cheap Drives (800-872-6007) both sell the Toshiba SCSI 438FB (877MB/12ms/3.5"/half height) for $1050. -- Steve Wechsler | zaphod@src4src.linet.org | Call Lady Hawke's Castle BBS: Please respond to my posts via e-mail (post also if you like) | (516) 226-4630 because my site purges news much faster than I can keep up with it.
