An addenum:

I have also heard nasty stories about CMS drives in Mac IIs (and less nasty
stories about Jasmines in IIs, also); I think I'd be careful if you're
planning to install one inside the II.

However, I know of at least 12 people who own external (and in two cases,
internal) 40 and 60 Meg CMS drives for the Mac+ and SEs and have had no
problems whatsoever.  One is a person who's had a BBS running off of a CMS
40 Meg for the last five months, 24 hours a day.

So while I would certainly keep a cautious eye on the Mac II drives, I
personally would have few qualms about buying one for my Mac+.
