More 3243's, unfortunately. They have this silly thing called a warranty,
where every few months (or years if lucky) the drive dies and you trade
your dead one for a refurbished one. As for what I'd buy given the
choice...we have some Microp 1936's that seem like tanks. Same goes for
the DEC DSP5300. I wish I'd talked the boss into buying more when Corpsys
was moving them out. I'm glad I got one for myself.
For non-antique drives, I've got several of the newer IBM 3.5" 2gb SCSI-2
drives in service...and they seem nice enough. No failures so far.
