The Jasmine 80 seems to work just fine, but that is not surprising since
I understand they use the same drive as the Apple 80Mb upgrade.  One minor
glitch is that although the drive comes preformatted and with about 10Mb
of PD/Shareware software, the Mac-II won't recognize it.  I called
Jasmine and they said something about incompatible formats and mentioned
a fix to be available RSN (probably available by now).  The Apple HD
setup program in the Utilities folder was able to reformat it without
any problems, but the existing software was consigned to software heaven
naturally...
