2457.0. "hard disk dream..." by NZOV01::MCKENZIE (Support your right to arm bears) Mon Apr 10 1989 01:35

    Ok - HARD DISK question time....
    
    I have considered buying a hard disk for some time - the only
    thing that has put me off is the price ($1500 NZ = $900 US)
    
    what should I be looking for in a hard disk...
    
    are there any restrictions or points I should consider with regards
    to a PAL system of operation...
    
    what are the prices like in the US?

    I presume you are in the Uk..
    If not disregard the following..when I looked at the prices , I
    also fell off my chair..Second hand  Bargain basement time  I thought.
    
    There are several magazines about ,Computer Mart in particular is
    the one I saw . They advertise Electronic Auctions around the country,
    particularly in London.  I cannot comment on prices or quality,
    but I am going to one at Southgate Tech on the 29th and will let
    you know..
    
    		Regards

    They may still do a similar thing, ie Auction or Second Hand Mart.
    The magazine was Micro Mart not as previously stated..
