Hey gang. Thought you would want to know that Alltronics has 5 dec 3100
100mb 3.5 inch half height drives for sale for 24.95 each. They had 7, but
I just bought 2. One for a Mac SE30, one which will wind up either in the
vaxstation Tim Shoppa is putting together for me, or in my Apple 2 GS, which
in turn will donate its disk to the aforementioned vax. (the GS's disk is
230 megs. Far more than is really useful for it.)
If this is an RZ23, you will have to either send it a spin-up command
everytime you power it on (the Adaptec 1542C can do this) or locate a utility
to rewrite a bit on an embedded command page. I have an RZ23 in an Amiga 3000.
It does not spin up until I run a program called "LateSCSIMounter".
Other than that, it's an OK drive.
