Proven, shmooven. I just got my Mac IIsi and noticed that it comes with a
Quantum LPS-80 drive; this was a surprise because the beta seed unit I was
using employed a Connor mechanism. I haven't had a chance to use my new machine
very much, but the drive seems quiet and fast. Noting the quality of previous
Quantum drives (those SE/30 drive problems notwithstanding) I would have
absolutely no hesitation in purchasing a Quantum LPS-105. I think that's a good
suggestion for a drive to buy - if it's good enough for Apple, it's good enough
for me :-)
