       We need a second	drive for our Apple //e	and would like some
       opinions	on the various Apple compatible	disk drives.  I
       have always been	satisfied with the performance of Apple's
       drives, but am considering other	drives because of size,
       storage capacity	or price advantages.  We would be
       interested in your comments or suggestions about	the various
       brands.	In particular we would like to hear about drive
       reliability and read/write error	rates.	We would also like
       to know whether the disk	can use	the standard Apple disk
       controller card and standard DOS	3.3.  If a modified DOS	is
       necessary, how difficult	is it to install the patches?  (The
       modified	DOS question may apply to some of the high capacity
       disks now available.) Specific brands we	have heard about
       include Rana, Micro-Sci,	Concorde, and the new Amdek micro
       drives.	Are there other	brands which we	should consider?
       Responses can be	mailed to me or	posted to the net.
       (Perhaps	this can start some discussions	about Apple
       compatible hardware experiences and advice.) Thanks!
