[comp.sys.mac] Recommendations needed on hard drives...

jtn@potomac.ads.com (John T. Nelson) (12/08/87)

Can anyone recommend a removable high-density storage medium for the
Macintosh?  For example, Jasmine Technologies sells something they
call the MegaDrive.  This is a 10 megabyte removable "pack" that looks
like a really big floppy disk.  I'm assuming that it is something like
a Bernouli drive.

What do people think of the Jasmine disks in general?  They seem
reasonably priced.  The MegaDrive in particular looks good for our
applications.  Opinions?

On the nosey.  It is much like a Bernouli drive, but MUCH cheaper.

Jasmine sells good equipment at GREAT prices.  Their only flaw is that
they are unable to keep up with the demand for their product.  You usually
have to wait to get your equipment, but you'll be glad you did.

I have no relationship to Jasmine, Bernouli, or anyone else of consequence,
except as a satisfied customer.
