Title: Information Request: APPLE DISK DRIVES

I am interested in purchasing a disk for my Apple II.  Looking through the
many mail order adds, I have noticed many drives offered by companies other
than Apple which claim to be "compatable with all Apple software".  One of
the most promising of these seems to be a model A2 by Micro-Sci.  Since this
would be my first disk, I would need to purchase their controller board along
with the drive.

Are these drives truly compatable with all Apple software?  Do they come with
an operating system of the DOS 3.3 type?  If anyone has some information, or
better yet, has used some of these "generic drives", I would greatly appreciate
some feedback.  These drives appear to be a good deal less expensive, but I
know nothing of their quality/compatability/reputation.  Thanx.
