I just got my Micro Forge 40 meg Hard drive and just thought i'd let everyone know how it works. It seems to work great, the fan is quiet and the speed is fairly fast, (though not as fast as soon hard drives i've had for other pc's) . For upload/downloading its great, doesn't have to wait for the drive to klunk around every couple of blocks. The driver seems to work ok but takes a lot of ram, 370000 left on a 512k machine with 2 3 1/2 drives and one 5 1/4 drive, and workbench loaded. Have loaded all of my software onto it and still have 85% disk space left. <BIG GRIN>…..The expansion box has space for another hard drive. The expansion box itself is a BIG thing with 7 expansion slots, power supply and drives all in the same box. Not very modern looking but it works. Now all I need is the 2 meg ram card and I'll be all set.
