If your interest is solely in using MAC disks, then I'd go with Spectre GCR
which is due out in the next four weeks (Aug. 1)  Discovery will do the
disk conversions - but they do take a while.  Spectre GCR on the other hand
will allow you to pop a straight MAC disk into the ST disk drive and do
reads and writes at MAC speed or better!  If you are also interested in a
disk copier and using 5.25 format disks, then Discovery is your ticket.
Its not the nicest device around in terms of user friendliness and the sofnewes

protected disks.
