Say what?? CCO _peaked_ at 80 megs. I'll agree that we could easily run out
of 130mb by adopting even looser policies than mine, but 200 mb is probably
all you need for just the general archiving. If Jawaid really wants to move
GNO stuff, then I'd up it to 330 or something since the price difference isn't
that great (I think). But 1.2G will take us forever to fill up unless we
duplicate a LOT of non-apple-II stuff there.

What Jawaid didn't mention is the reason a 1.2G drive is necessary; the drive
is from Sun, complete with the mini-50-pin SCSI connectors and everything.
Probably so they can extend their Sun service contract to cover it, or because
they don't trust 3rd party drives.
