A friend of mine wants to buy and 800K external drive, and he's seen some
3rd party ones that are cheaper than the $300 we have to pay for Apple drives
(university consortium prices).

Since I don't know much about them, I though I'd ask for advice.
He's seen 2 drives -
1)Ehman 800 K external drive, by Ehman engineering ($190) and
2) Phaser 800, by Warp 9 Engineering ($180)

Does anyone know anything about these drives, or can anyone suggest any
other 3rd party drives, and/or a good place to buy one from (Does
MacConnection sell hardware too)?

Thanks in advance,
Ben Waldman
