I'm going to buy a IIcx later this year, and I have planned to buy the diskless
version and supply my own mail-order drive.  What I have in mind is the
Quantum 3.5" 80 or 100 Mb internal.  Question is, where do I get it?

I have in mind a price from $800 - $1000, including software similar to what
LaCie supplies with the Cirrus external drives.

Any info you can contribute will be helpful.  I'm interested in:

	* speed (the Quantum 80 and 100 are both nominally about 15ms),
	* quality of software (different interleave options supported so
		that I can squeeze the most out of my 68030, and
		hopefully dynamic repartitioning),
	* usable instructions and installation info, and
	* a reputable supplier (pref. like MacConnection or MacWarehouse).

I guess if all else fails I can just buy the Cirrus 80Mb external ... but
still ...
