Hello everybody,

I am in the market for something bigger than 500 megs ...

I expect the solution to be less than 3000 CDN$ ...

For what I have seen yet, big Hard-Disks are still not affordable.
May be I should consider buying something like a 128 megs floptical drive or
a 650 floptical HD, like the Pinnacle Micro...

Also I intend to use the device under OS/2 with a Gateway 2000 DX2-50 ISA 
system.  

Also, if I get another HD, this means that I have to add 400$ + 100$ for
Tape Backup Hardware+Software ...  So I can tolerate a +/- ~ 400$ margin.


I would appreciate comments from anybody using this kind of setup ...

Replies by E-Mail will be much more appreciated ...
