(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. -- Mike Eve Boeing Aerospace, Seattle ...uw-beaver!ssc-vax!ssc-bee!eve

Has anybody heard rumors about Macintosh style micro discs for the IIe? Does anybody have any details? Rick Thomas {ihnp4, allegra, most any backbone site}!btlunix!rbt

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. aloha j
