Hmmm, I have plenty of older HDs. Physically my biggest SCSI is an old ST-296N. Capacity-wise I am not sure. Probably the one in my 8600/200 (unless the Smurf uses SCSI) I also have some MFM and RLL HDs but I lack an ESDI HD (it's on my list!) What were the HDs for the Apple and early (Plus, SE, etc.) Macs? The Commodore computers? The ADAM Home Computers? I wonder because I have a Commodore Plus/4 and a C=64 as well as an old ADAM Home Computer. I know the ADAM took tapes but I heard it could use an HD as well (never investigated this so maybe it was akin to Vaporware) -- Steve Conrad Henrietta, MO 64036 "The time has come for mankind to grow up and leave its cradle behind; to go forth and claim our place in outer space." - Capt.
