Mike,

Do you have any information on interfacing software?  Specifically, I have an
Apple II, and I am interested in just such a unit.  Do you know what Apple II
software it will interface to, e.g. Pascal, Basic, Visicalc, Apple Pie?  Most of these
Winchester disk things sound great until you find that you have to get into the
bowels of canned software written by someone else in order to make them
useful.  Unfortunately, I'm just too busy to spend time that way.  I must admit
that I barely have time to use canned software for the things I need at home. 

Also, have you looked into the SyQuest SQ-360 3.9 inch Winchester drive?  It
looks like it's about the same thing.  See Mini-Micro Systems, June 1982.
