(and now for a word from our sponsors)

M.A.C., located on University Ave. in Berkeley, CA, used to sell
Chinon 800k external drives for $189 plus tax.  I bought one some
three years ago and it's still going strong!

I'm not sure if they're still selling them, but it's worth a
try -- their number is (415) 644-0516.

Good luck.
