Hard Drives International (1-800-736-3475) has an ad on page 283 of the 
August 1990 Computer shopper that lists several Mac Compatible (SCSI) 
drives.  Prices for external drives range from $299 for a 20 Meg 
Seagate, $339 for a 30 Meg Seagate, $429 for a 45 Meg Quantum, on up.

I purchased a "Mac Compatible" external drive from them in April of '89 
and have had *NO* problems with it.  I guess that's because they offer a 
decent guarantee.  8-)
