I'd like to buy an external floppy drive for my Mac Plus.

MacConnection carries the Cutting Edge drive for $175, but they say that
people have had problems using it with the Plus and they recommend it only for
the SE, and that Cutting Edge will be shipping them an improved model next
month.

Programs Plus also sells the Cutting Edge (also for $175); they say that there
were problems with older Cutting Edges and Pluses, but that the current drives
are OK.

I would appreciate hearing from people who have used the Cutting Edge, or any
other non-Apple external drive.

Please e-mail to me (derek@confidence.princeton.edu) and I will post a summary
if people are interested.  To avoid net.clutter, please don't post replies (or
requests for my summary).
