I don't know what Alexis has against Rodime, but I don't like them
either.  First, some background.  The company I work for wrote
drivers and the formatter installer program that one of the well
known third party Mac drive vendors is using.

As part of this, we got to see a lot of drives.  We also do a lot
of SCSI related stuff not specific to the Mac ( we're very active
in SCSI-2 ).  This also gets us samples of a lot of SCSI drives.

Here's my personal opinion of what drives were good and which were
not:

	GOOD ( stuff I would buy )
		Quantum ProDrive ( this is what I have in my Mac II )
		Conner
		CDC Wren
		SyQuest SQ555

	MAYBE, BUT I DIDN'T USE ENOUGH TO REALLY TELL

		MiniScribe 40 meg
		Seagate 157N
	
	BAD
		Rodime 70 meg ( blind transfers on the Mac II fail! )
		Sony optical ( due to firmware bugs, blind transfers
		of more than 8 blocks, and non-blind of more than
		64 fail.  Sony was supposed to have new firmware to
		fix this.  The drive had to go back before I got a
		chance to see the new firmware, however.  If the
		new firmware fixes these problems, move this up to
		the maybe list )
