I would like to buy a hard disk for my Mac, but the prices seem way out of
line.  5Mb goes for about $1600 still.  In comparison, there are several
10Mb drives - with controller - for the IBMpc in the $800 range.

Anyone know:

1. How long until prices come down?
2. Whether I can use (with suitable interface) drives made for IBMpc market.
