Subject: Group purchace of Xebex 30MB hard disk subsystems 

       I have found where to get Xebec 30 Meg hard disk subsystems
for the incredible price of $1450.  The distributer who I'm in touch
with says that he will sell them in batches of n where n >= 20 for
$1450 each if I give him a certified check for $1450 * n. He says that
the list price for the system is $2590.

       Here are the specs:

Xebec 5.25" Winchester: 4 platters, 8 heads, voice coil driven head,
    average acces time of 45 msec (including settling), average
    latency of 8.33 msec, formatted capacity of 33.5 MB, 512
    cylinders.

Xebec S1410A controller: 22 bit error detection, 11 bit error
    correction.

Host adaptors available: IBM-PC, IBM-XT, and compatibles, (PC-DOS 1.1,
    2.0, 2.1, MS-DOS 2.0.) Apple ][+, //e, and compatibles, (Apple DOS
    3.3, ProDOS 1.0.1, Microsoft CP/M 2.23, PCPI CP/M 1.0, 1.5, 2.0,
    Apple Pascal 1.1.) and S100 bus. (CP/M presumably. [It's not on
    the specs sheet I have, but the distributer said there was an S100
    bus host adaptor available.])

Case: Height 5.00", width 6.62", depth 14.75", weight 16 pounds.

Power supply: 100-126, 220-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 60 W power consumption.

Cords, cables, and manuals are included. (It's ready to set up and use.)

       If you're insterested in going in on this with me, send me
mail ASAP so I can see what sort of a response there is. If you send
me mail saying you're interested in getting one, or might be, I will
keep you posted. I hope it is clear that I am not making any profit
off of this.
