I just bought a Mac II and I want to buy a hard disk for it.  I want
to be able to run A/UX when it comes out, but I'm not sure how to
choose an appropriate disk.

Given that:
    * Apple recommends at least 80MB for A/UX
    * I can't afford Apple's 80MB ($2699)
    * I want an internal drive

I figure my only choices are the Jasmine 90MB internal, the CMS 80MB or
the Warp Nine 80MB.

Someone said that only Apple's drive will work with A/UX or that only
Quantum drives will work with A/UX.  Does anyone know the exact truth
about this?  My dealers know nothing, the drive makers know nothing,
and a phone call to Apple just yielded "A/UX will be out the 1st of the
year".

If I buy a 3rd party drive, like the Jasmine Innerdrive 90MB, will I
be able to use it to run A/UX?  Perhaps some technical person at Apple
can comment on this?  I would hate to spend $1500 for a drive and find
out it is useless for A/UX.
