Greetings,   I am looking for the 1.44MB floppy disk drive for old
Macintosh Plus. I have some choices narrowed down to three. Also I want
it be able to read and write MS-DOS files. They are;

   1) Dayna File 1.44(3.5) from Dayna Communication
   2) Drive 2.4 with Rapport from Kennect Technology
   3) DPI 1.4 from DPI

Item # 3 showed on the MacUser magazine (Jan 1991). I want your opinion
which is better. Does anyone have any problem with those dirves?
Item #1 and #2 are over $500.00. Item #3 is under $260.00. Any suggestion?


Happy holidays.
