     Well, I've had a Progressive Peripherals ProDrive for about 2 months
now, and I've been very pleased with it.  It is VERY solidly built, has a
nice "feel" to the disk release (BTW, it looks like it is an NEC drive -
the good ones), is small (very nice on a space budget), has a generous
cable, and is VERY quiet.  The difference between it and my internal A1000
drive is like night and day; no more CHUNK CHUNK CHUNK, but rather a nice
click (put that in -5 point elite :-).  And, best of all, Abel Supply (Yes,
take this as a promotion, I like them and their service) has them for about
$180 shipped.  This is great considering 1050's are now $299 retail, and
about $50 more than the ProDrive mail order.
     ****, two thumbs up.
