I want max bang/buck in a reasonable quality drive for my Mac+. I could buy a Jasmine Direct Drive 40 for about $599, or get a PowerDrive80 (!) by mail for $588. Please enlighten me as to: 1. The service level of Hard Drives International and Mac Land (Mac User ads on pp. 291-2 and 284-7, Feb. 1990). 2. The relative merits of the Power Drive 80 (a Seagate mech) from one of these sources vs. the more expensive and better waranteed Quantum mechanisms. I'll summarize; thanks. -- Todd Bridges, M88000 Development ...!cs.utexas.edu!oakhill!toddb Motorola, Inc., 6501 William Cannon Dr. W, Austin, TX 78735-8598 Me (512) 891-3227 Fax (512) 891-3818 Mail Stop TX30/OE215 My opinions are not necessarily the offical dogma of Motorola.

Well, the Quantum 40s in the back of MacWeek are going for less than $500! Also take a gander at the prices on the 80s and 105s. For 12 ms access, this looks like too good a deal. Of course, I imagine the case and software may not be as sharp as Jasmines. oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo o COLIN ONG Dept.
