- I have similar problem when ordering the Talon TA-100 from Insight
- (HDI). I first called them in December 92 and was told that the drive
- was unavailable until January. I called again on January 8, and placed
- an order for the drive, which advertised in major computer magazine for
- several months as a 380ms drive. Twelve days later the saleman call me
- that they discontinue the TA-100. They just found out after several
- months of false advertising that the drive is actually slower with 600ms
- access time. He offered me another model made by Philips, which is of
- course more expensive. I refused and cancel the order.
