"Anyway, the result of all this is that we are NOT (for the moment)
getting this drive (or any drive). The sallesman from S.I.
mentioned that Fujitsu was going to be announcing a new drive
later next year. Ready? 470 Mb unformatted, at "less than $20,000"
including controller! My adviser (Prof E.J. Corey) decided that
we should wait and see, that we might get twice the storage for
less than 50% more bucks. Interesting if true. I wish the
salesman had kept his mouth shut, (and so does he, now) but you
may be interested in following this.

$20,000 for a sub 500*MB* drive? Wow who's ripping
you off? Just go to Walgreens, or CVS,
or wherever, and get a 256GB flash drive
for around $30, plug it into your computer's
USB port and be done with it.
