I'm in the market for a new 40 Meg external hard disk for my Mac Plus.
I've had a 20 Meg Jasmine Direct Drive for the last 2 years and have loved
it but really need something bigger.

I would really like to buy a Jasmine, but am leery of them in light of 
all of their problems that they have been having recently.  Nonetheless
I see in the latest MacWorld that they are advertising an external 
40 Meg "portable" hard drive for only $299.  Does anyone have any 
experience with this drive - what is it like?  Does anyone have any
experience recently dealing with Jasmine - should one stay away from them?

What other low cost high quality hard disks are currently available 
out there?  I've heard a number of people recommend MicroNet - anyone
else like it?

Thanks!

Michael
