  My first 'big' drives were two Maxtor XT4380E RLL drives;  about 300 megs
formated, each...  Got 'em in 1993;  those along with 16 megs of ram made for 
nice OS/2 system (personal & BBS) until it got zapped in a thunderstorm here 
in
around '98 or '99...   I still have the drives;  some idea about getting an
image of the OS/2 install transferred to another drive, but I've never had the
time to try it...   (I think at least one of the drives was still good, & I
still have a 2nd controller...)
