) Why is the second drive 2500.00 more than the first?
) Is that the price of the cable?
Actually, the $3000 figure is for upgrading from a 120 MB disk to a 320
MB disk. Since the 120 MB disk you give up for this option is worth
$1950, the actual cost of the first 320 MB disk is $4950. So the cable
for the second 320 MB disk is only $550. Quite reasonable.
