I am planning to buy a 60 or 80 Mb harddisk. I have seen some advertisements in the MacUser. Hard Drives International sells 60 Mb HD's for $449 and 80Mb for $499. Has anyone any experience with these HD's? Is the power-supply suitable for 220 Volts (European). How is the delivery of HD International? Is a seagate 28 ms fast enough to serve a Mac Plus? If you know any answer, please mail me. Thanks in advance. Marc Heijligers marc_h@ele.tue.nl

It came with an INIT and formatting software. The drive was fine. the delivery time was good. The software was not too good. It consistently caused intermittant crashes of the system. (consistent...intermittant??? Yeah, I could depend on it to crash but not exactly when.) The system was a vanilla System/Finder (6.0.5) on a Mac IIcx. Software was MacWrite/Word/White Knight/... or almost any other program that opens a window. I finally had to send it back for a refund. However, I feel that the problem was in the software or the drive itself. As to the company or the people, I would do business with them again without hesitation. They were consistently helpful.
