4990.0. "Hard Drive Controllers Revisited" by CRBOSS::QUIRICI () Fri Aug 23 1991 14:18

    Hi,
    
    Memory Location is having a special on SUPRA SCSI controllers + hard
    drives. I think you can get a 20-meg drive + controller + 512k memory
    for $359, plus 1/2 meg's for $60 each.
    
    They claim they're real popular.
    
    I'm thinking of switching from a cranky and old and thrice-fixed Xetec
    controller to the SUPRA.
    
    Any opinions on the SUPRA, or XETEC/SUPRA comparisons? What's the
    best controller + 20meg + 1/2 meg for around $300-$400?

The Newton, MA. Bit Bucket is having a GVP sale tomorrow Aug 24.
"Prices too low to print" ;-)   And the Memory Location has a
"We will not be undersold" policy. Could be a good day for shopping.

    Re: Xetec controllers
    
    I noticed that most of those mail-order places do NOT stock Xetec
    stuff.
    
    I called a bunch of them, and at least one said the reason was Xetec's
    stuff simply fails too often. This matches my own experience, anyway -
    my Xetec FastTrack was back in the shop (on warranty) three times
    before I finally gave up on it.
