Almost a year ago I got a Jasmine Direct Drive 80 for my 512KE (w/Dove 2Meg
and SCSI addons).  I followed directions (which were provided in a nice
large and COMPLETE manual) - which consisted of mostly 'plug the sucker in
and turn it on' and it has worked PERFECTLY ever since.

Now, my Mac has died some absolutely spectacular deaths since then,
sometimes with considerable screen pryotechnics and noise.  I even blew
my power supply (it was a VERY old power supply - my machine started as
a 128K 'classic Mac').

Not ONCE has my Jasmine disk ever been damaged!  After such deaths, it
takes a bit longer before I see "Welcome to Macintosh", but I have never
seen a damaged file system on it.  I also cannot say enough good about the
mechanical robustness of the drive.  When I need to do a massive amount of
downloading, I just unplug my disk and carry it into work, where I use
a 19.2K connection from the back of my Sun.

I don't know about any of the other Jasmine offerings, but I recommend the
80MB drive without reservation.
