- That's strange, Steve. Here over the Tasman IBM has a deal with SCSI
- Corporation for the Texel DM 3024 and 5024 (internal and external) as well
- as some Sony deals (the SCSI corp Texel deal is a very nice deal and a very
- nice drive). I thought, given this, that in NZ they would also be popular.
-
- The drives are 300K/sec 260ms drives and work with 0 hassles (except for
- CDEXPL which has trouble locking the door and then won't work - not
- surprising since there isn't a lock on the Texel door :-)
