Thank you! > -James- I'm sorry, I refuse to participate in this survey. There is no way I am going to recommend a drive blindly, without knowing what the user really needs. I get this question as many as five times a day, and the answer varies from getting a Quantum 40 to getting a CDC 91 to getting a Syquest-type drive to sticking with floppies. Sometimes I even recommend the MicroNet 300, based on CDC drives. It all depends. Which is why I refuse to recommend just one drive. I'm full of ideas about what NOT to buy, though... --- Alex
