(Apologies if this shows up twice.)

We need to purchase a couple of removable cartridge (Syquest based)
drive systems.  I have experience with two Mass Micro drives already,
and am reasonably satisfied, but we'd like to consider some less
expensive alternatives.  Upon scanning the 6/90 issue of Macworld, I
compiled the following list in order from least to most expensive:

Ehman, HardDrives Intl, Cutting Edge, Alliance Peripheral Systems,
Cutting Edge, Mirror Technologies, CMS, Dolphin, PLI, MicroTech, MicroNet

(Actually, I didn't get a price on the MicroNet drive.)  The prices range
from $650 to $1100.  Does anyone have experience with any of these
brands, or any others?  With drives being offered as low as $650, I
hesitate to shell out another $1100 for a Mass Micro drive.

Email responses would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks for the info.
