2117.2Seems good to meCAM::ARENDTHarry Arendt CAM::Fri Jan 13 1989 19:5615
    
    
    I have a miniscribe 3 1/2 20 meg drive.  Don't remember the model
    number but will look it up.  It fit inside my 2000 just fine,
    runs good ( I have my machine on the floor on it's side ).  The
    support from miniscribe was excellent and hookup was a breeze.
    Miniscribe sent me a complete manual just because I asked for it.
    This is a good price I paid over 250 about a year ago.  
    I don't know about the amiga 500 so I don't know how easy it is
    to hook up a hard drive however mine was easy.  I never have a
    problem with the drive except that it makes a lot of noise on a
    warm boot.

    You'll now need a power supply, box, and host interface and adapter!
    This will run about another $300 or so. If you're not the adventurous
    type who wants to put it together himself, I'd stay away from doing
    it myself! Although you do learn alot! (Thanks J.B.)
