[net.micro.apple] High density floppy advice?

	(I don't know if the original posting made it to the
	net.  If this is a reposting, please send replies
	directly to me.)

	Despite my previous flames about Apple Computer, the Company,
	I am buying an Apple Computer ][e to replace my aging
	][.  With the low price of ][e's (<$700), I will stick
	with my software library another year or so waiting
	for the real Mac (color, etc.).

	In the meantime, I want some disk storage. I mean 140k
	is a drag, and with Prodos heirarchial directories almost
	totally inadequate.

	Your help is solicited. I want a high-density ( :=) drive,300k or more.
	I know of the Rana drives.  Has anyone heard of anything else?
	Please also tell me if the drive will read/write standard disks
	(so I can share data with friends) and how easy it was to install
	the drives under Prodos (if you have it).

	Thanks.

Right On!

Has anybody heard rumors about Macintosh style micro discs for the IIe?
Does anybody have any details?

Seems to me that Apple might be about to release some new fantastic
product, therefore the advertising buyout.  Since Apple stock is down
around the 27 mark it might be a good time to buy into the roller coaster.
