Yes, it does have to do with A1K hard drives. Are you a hardware hacker,
willing to do stuff yourself in exchange for lower costs? Then you can put
together a 40 meg system for about $550. (I kid you not; I just did it here.)
What you do is buy a Wedge for under $200, then pick up an "IBM" drive kit
including a WX1 controller and cables. Only other thing you need is a power
supply (I picked up a 75 watt switcher for $20) and cable for that and maybe a
box to put it in, and you're all set.
So far, I'm very happy with the configuration.
