I just got my Tecmar hard drive and love it (so far). An assembly that takes 4:10 when all include files are in RAM: takes only 4:35 off the HD. This compares to over ten minutes off the floppy. Only drawback is the whining noise (although not louder than any other external drive I've heard). Question: can I extend the HD cable so I can hide the drive? If so, how far? Also, the read light is always on, the write never lights. I suppose I'll have to call Tecmar. I'm going to go play with it some more, bye. — Mike
