I recently purchased the Rapport/Drave 2.4 product, and I like it very
much.  It works "as advertised" and was a cinch to install, although
the hokey cable for the MacII (looks like it takes a slot, but just
takes a space for the connector) isn't made very well.  I paid $395 +
$195 + $45 for it from MacAvenue, and it came with a copy of FastBackII
(older version than current, but i'm pretty sure I can get a free
upgrade).

I would reccomend this product.
