For what it's worth, I've purchased several Fujitsu 660meg drives from MacDirect, and don't have a thing to complain about (except that the color of the enclosure isn't black... :-). The oldest one of these is probably a year and a half old. None of the drives have had any problems, but then again none of these drives are gigabyte models. If you do buy Fijitsu's from MacDirect, make sure you mention that you're getting them for a NeXTstation. They set the drive up a bit differently for NeXT's compared to Macs. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu ITS Systems Programmer (handles NeXT-type mail) Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy NY USA
