I have a friend who owns an Amiga (no flames or bashing , please) who would
like to buy a external floppy drive for his computer. What does this have 
to to with the Apple II ,you may ask? Well while looking through Amiga
magazines for companies that sell floppy drives for the Amiga , he saw an 
ad for Amiga compatible floppy drives from Applied Engineering. Since they 
are new to the Amiga market , he doesnt know of they are a good company to 
deal with. I happened to remember that while they are new to the Amiga market,
they have been a long established part of the Apple II market. So can anyone
tell me if they have a good reputation or not? Their ads for the floppy 
drive sounds really good , but my friend is worried about buying from them
because they keep changing (downgrading) the specs of the drive everytime
a new issue of the magazines carrying the ads appear.

       thanks
