I want max bang/buck in a reasonable quality drive for my Mac+. 
I could buy a Jasmine Direct Drive 40 for about $599, or get a
PowerDrive80 (!) by mail for $588.

Please enlighten me as to:

1. The service level of Hard Drives International and Mac Land
   (Mac User ads on pp. 291-2 and 284-7, Feb. 1990).

2. The relative merits of the Power Drive 80 (a Seagate mech)
   from one of these sources vs. the more expensive and better
   waranteed Quantum mechanisms.

I'll summarize; thanks.
