Here is some 80Mb Internal low-cost Mac II Disk info.  Shipping not included:

Jasmine-80: $1399 (no discounts, mail order from manufacturer, w/PD software)
Warp-9, 80: $1295 (no discounts, mail order from manufacturer in Wisconsin)
CMS-80:     $1219 (CDA Computer, NJ, 201-728-8080, See Nov. MacUser)
Apple 80Mb: $2000+

CMS (Valencia, CA) does a lot of IBM PC business, and sells through
dealers.  The above four drives are based on the Quantum-80 disk, and
are functionally identical but have different SCSI firmware.  Thus,
formatters/diagnostics may not interoperate correctly.  Access time is
uniformly 26ms for this quantum disk.  My CMS-80 formatted down to
approx 77,000K of useable storage.

MicahDrive: $???? (seen in Macazine, forgot the price/info)
Magic-91:   $1195 (mail order, seen in tabloid MacWeek?
		      MacintoshToday? last week)

If the Magic-91 resembles other -91 disks, it may have 18ms access
time, and may be a bargain.  I don't know which disk maker builds the
low-cost -91 disks (maybe not quantum).  Be forwarned that sometimes
disk makers turn out "lemon" models (noisy, likely to crash).  I found
out about the MagicDrive last week.  I bought the CMS-80 because of
the good price.  It is very quiet, and trivial to install yourself.
