	I am in the market for an external hard drive for my Mac Plus.
Hard drive specs are somewhat a mystery to me so I'd like 
some advice on things such as:

     a)  Access time
     b)  Mean Time Between Failures
     c)  Interleaving (is 3:1 what I need?)
     d)  SCSI addressing (with my external floppy)
     e)  Quality, Value, Support

Jasmine is here in San Francisco but I've heard mixed reviews.
What do you think?  I'm all eyes.
