Well, in my search for a reliable, inexpensive, easy
to use hard drive, I've come across several glowing
recommendations for the Toshiba MK-538FB, which is
a 3.5" hard drive that's extremely fast, seems to
be very reliable, and *formats* to 1.2GB.  All for
the price of ~$1400 by mail.  
So, my natural question is, has anyone here had any
experiences setting one of these up to run on a
NeXT?  Is it plug and play?  Does it require hacking
to get NeXTStep to recognize it?  (2.2 or 3.0?)  My
information source uses it on a 486-50 and is totally
satisfied with its performance.
Anyone who wants more info on how to get the product
can e-mail me.
Any comments on whether this device runs with a NeXT
and how much work it takes to set up will be appreciated.
Thank you!
