Dear netters, I am in the market for a second hard disk for my Mac IIsi 5/40. I have seen in the April issue of MacUser several ads for drives with the Quantum 105 mechanism as low as $349/$399, and asl low as $799 for the 210Mbyte. I assume this is the older version of the Quantum mechanism (not the LPS). Should I think twice before going for one of these? Does anybody have any opinions on drives from APS, ETC, POWERDrive, Warehouse 54 or other? I am going to buy postorder, any good pointers to good places? Where should I not buy? Thanks, Arne Venstad Email: Arne.Venstad@delba.sintef.no SINTEF DELAB N-7034 Trondheim, Norway.

I put in in a case my neighbor had and, poof.... For $379 and 2meg of memory from my Apple //gs and I had a 105mb external drive for my Mac+. This is the older Quantum, not the new LPS, but for the price I don't think you can go wrong . . . I have absolutly no complaints with either the drive or APS, and I've used the drive extensivly since I got it . . .
