[comp.sys.mac] Info on Jasmine

Hi all!

  Ran across some Jasmine ads and thought I'd pass them on.

1.  Jasmine has raised the price of their 20M drives from 579 -> 649.
I hope this increased price means better quality, testing and service.
I though drives were supposed to go *DOWN* in price. 8-)

2.  Jasmine has a 10M FLOPPY drive!  neat-o.  Disks are ~30 a piece.
It is SCSI hardware, but costs ~1400.  Whew!

3.  Lastly, they have announced a 40M piggy-back drive.  This drive
actually snaps onto the back of your Mac  Plus, replaces the on/off
switch and power cord with its own and has a SCSI port to replace the
one the drive uses.  All for only $1299.


Lastly, I would like some info on memory upgrades.  I want to go from
my 1M Mc+ to 2M.  I've seen ads for Dove, MacMemory and others with
what I want for ~250.  Any opinions on the best memory upgrade around.
I'm not planning on any internal hard drives or big screens, so
cabinet space isn't an issue.  Also, I'm not a heavy power user, so I
think 2M will suffice for QUITE awhile.  My jobs are usually small, so
I'm not really looking for upgrad-ability to 4 meg.

Thanks
