I recently picked up a copy of Computer Shopper and noticed an article in
the Mac section discussing some new 3rd party drives can put 2.4 megs worth
of data on a 3.5 inch drive.  It claims any Macintosh can handle it (even a
Mac Plus); so I assuming that since it works with a Mac Plus, it could also
work with an Apple IIGS.

The drive also can read 1.44 meg disks (IBM, Mac, etc. etc.) and Prodos
800k disks.  

The price was even reasonable (I can't remember, but it was something like
$400-500).

The company is called Kennect Technology; and the guys who work there are
former Apple employees who developed the Apple ][ disk drive technology (or so
the article says...).

I'd sure like more info, and if they are compatible with the Apple II.

Their address is:  120-A Albright Way, Los Gatos, CA  95030.  Maybe someone
up there can give 'em a call and find out.
