[comp.sys.mac.hardware] external HDs, semi-summary

Well, I got a billion requests for a summary
of my findings on external hard drives, and
only one response, pointing me to an article
I'd already read.  That's the USENET in action.

Two magazine articles are helpful:  the very
complete review of 40MB drives in the September
MacWorld, and the review of three cheap 40MB
drives in the October (?) MacUser.

We went with the Microtech Nova40, because:

	it is cheapish ($650)
	it has the fast Quantum platter
	it's quiet
	it has a 5 year warrantee
	good things were said on the net

Just in time, because both my floppy drives are 
starting to make "clean me or I'll die" noises.
