6.3.3 Hard Disk Manufacturers

    Here's a partial list of web pages for manufacturers of disk drives.
At many of these you can get reasonable tech info and support contacts.

http://www.quantum.com
http://www.seagate.com
http://www.micropolis.com
http://www.storage.ibm.com/storage/
http://www.FCPA.com (Fujitsu)
http://www.conner.com (now merged w/ Seagate)
http://www-dmo.external.hp.com/disks/main.html
http://www.storage.digital.com/swrks/catalog/sup_html/pr-disk.htm

NOTE: HP announced on about July 10th, 1996 that they're getting out
of the hard disk business. The article I saw didn't give an exact time
frame. (rdv, 96/7/13)

http://theref.c3d.rl.af.mil/hard_drives/mh__main.html has good info on
older drives, and new info is available at
http://www.cs.yorku.ca/People/frank/Welcome.html.
