Just a side note on Peripheral Land. I've had a SCSI disk and streaming
tape from them for about a year now. While their hardware seems allright,
their programmers couldn't program themselves out of a paper bag. In
addition, I've found their support small to non-existent.
I'd recommend to anybody considering buying a product from them that you
find somebody who'll sell you a cheaper disk with decent software support.
Note that Peripheral Land doesn't bother to tell you prices in their
ads - just remember "expensive".
