Shipping not included: >Jasmine-80: $1399 (no discounts, mail order from manufacturer, w/PD software) The internal Jamsine drive for the MacII is a 90MB, not 80.

My CMS-80 formatted down to The 80MB *EXTERNAL* drive Jasmine sells is a Quantum-80 26ms, the INTERNAL is a 90MB CDC WrenIII with 16.5ms access. It comes with its own formatter. I have no data on the other drives. I do, however, have a 160mb WrenIII on my macII, which is quiet, fast, and has more storage than I know what to do with (but I'm working on that!). We have a MacII here at the office with the Inner Drive 90 (Jasmines code name), and it is also fast, quiet, comes with all the software you need (plus 10mb of shareware). All the folks I know who have had Jasmines are happy with the hardware, and with the people at Jasmine. **I have no relationship with CDC, Jasmine, Apple, or myself** -------------------- Ken Wallich *My views are mine, and mine alone* Consultant "Camelot!
