norton@extro.ucc.su.oz.au (Norton Chia) (03/21/91)

Hi, could some of you please let me know what your experiences are:
	1)	With the Rapport regarding non-SWIM Macs and ext. floppy 
		drives.
	2)	With Fujitsu 800K floppy drives and if they work with
		the new Macs, especially the Classic.
Many thanks,
Norton

I too have seen the Fujitsu advertised for $99, but because of
previous good experiences opted for the Cutting Edge from Mac
Connection at $149. This morning I opened the Cutting Edge up and
found a Fujitsu mechanism.  Wince.  Expect identical performance
from both drives.

Well, I bought the above drive for $99.

It is quieter than the Mac SE/30 FDHD drive and has read/written to
floppies with no problems (yet).

I am just a satisfied customer.  It sure beats the "floppy shuffle." !!
