The internal Jamsine drive for the MacII is a 90MB, not 80.  The last price
I saw was $1599.

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**
