[comp.sys.mac] Cutting Edge

NETOPRRW@NCSUVM.BITNET (Rich Wood) (02/07/89)

      Hello,  I am hoping someone can help me out.  I've been using mac's for
        quite some time now and purchased a plus about a year back.  I recently
        saved up enough money to purchase an external 800K drive.  I saw an ad
        for a cutting edge drive and went ahead and tried to place an order.
        The opperator told me people were having alot of trouble with this
        drive.  I was wondering if anyone else had heard about this?

	I work for OSU's Philosophy Dept, as well as CIS.  One of our profs
in Philosophy uses a Mac Plus w/ a Cutting Edge external, purchased from
MacWarehouse.  He's had it for about two months, and nothing bad has happened
that I know of, and since I'm responsible for most of the computers in the
dept., I'm sure I'd know if anything went wrong.  So I guess that's a clean
bill of health as far as I know.  It runs nice and quiet.  Only complaints are
the lack of a manual disk eject button (I hate paperclips) and the fact that it
ejects a little hard (but nothing's gone flying yet ;)
