If I recall correctly, the factory rep said the drive was made by Shugart or Tandon--I don't remember which. The drive is supposed to be 100% compatible with Apple's, and is apparently guaranteed to be update-able to double-sided (at some unspecified price and date). It's somewhat smaller than the Apple drive, and is also a bit noisier. It's in a metal case, painted standard MacBeige. Haba's pricing is designed to undercut Apple's, after typical dealer discounting. Some software (a miniFinder desk accessory and maybe Habadex) is supposed to come with the drive. This is about all I can recall that might be of interest... --John Clark clark@rand-unix
