hey y'all... i'm looking for suggestions (make, model, retailer) for both scsi hard drives and cdrom drives to use with my XL.

i lost yet another crucial .pgm to janky zips...i'm done with it!

so where should i get a reliable, affordable hd for my xl? also, i'm looking for a dirt cheap scsi cd rom drive, too (why not)

any advice would be greatly appreciated.

much love and much light,

maanav

yo, thank for the suggestion, but 110 is ridiculous...

more than anything, i'm interested in HD's...

what are y'all using and where'd you get it?

I find them everywhere.

I get hard drives for under $5 at local swap shops and flea markets. I find old cases to put them in for just a few dollars. I found an external case that had the old syquest88 drive in it at one of the local thrift stores for $3 a couple weeks ago. I pulled the Syquest and put a CD drive from a old Mac someone threw away. Tested it OK on the MPC, then I sold it as an external CD reader on Ebay for $110 (maybe).

I use the same cases for harddrives and [possibly] sell those for $185.
