[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Mac External Hard Drives

jevr@pbseps.UUCP (John V. Roensch) (10/24/89)

	I am in the market for an external hard drive for my Mac Plus.
Hard drive specs are somewhat a mystery to me so I'd like 
some advice on things such as:

     a)  Access time
     b)  Mean Time Between Failures
     c)  Interleaving (is 3:1 what I need?)
     d)  SCSI addressing (with my external floppy)
     e)  Quality, Value, Support

Jasmine is here in San Francisco but I've heard mixed reviews.
What do you think?  I'm all eyes.

Stay away from Jasmine.  They actually stole money from me.

OK........so, could you please elaborate a little bit?  Making accusations 
like that without any substantiation leads the rest of us to wonder if
maybe you're just sour on your experience, of if you really mean what you
say.
 
So, how exactly did they steal money from you?  Did they come to your
house and hold you up?  Perhaps they mugged you on the street?
 
More likely, they took your money and have yet to give you product in
exchange.  So what's the scoop?
