# QL on the QT

Instead of looking at QRAM and QKICK–more on them next month–let’s explore some hardware buys of which you may wish to take advantage. The first is 3 1/2″ disk drives. The lowest price I’ve seen is $129.95 each, from Advanced Computer Products, 1310 E, Edinger, Santa Ana, CA 92705, (800) 854-8230. They take plastic and give fast service. Each drive comes with a complete Kit of mounting and wiring hardware, so you should have no trouble getting everything running correctly.
