I'd just like to put in a word about my experiences with CMS.  My experiences
have been completely positive.  My development hard disk had a fatal crash in
October, and I needed a replacement immediately.  I had heard that CMS had
developer pricing, so I called about their 80meg Mac II internal.  Like
most other 80-Meg drives, it is a Quantum.  I ordered it that day, payed
rush charges ($50), and received it the next day COD.  It has worked flawlessly,
installed with no problem.  Only problems were: the floppy with utilities
was unreadable (the drive came pre-formatted, though, so I could boot without
needing the floppy), and the manual claimed that the 80-Meg did NOT auto-
park on power-down.  I called CMS and they sent a new floppy out, and
acknowledged that their manual was in error.

A friend of mine has one of their internal 100-Meg drives.  He's only had it
for a couple of weeks, but he too has had no problem.

In summary, I would buy from them any day (and in fact my business partner
is buying one today).
