[Kevin S. Green writes about Micronet MP series had drive]

I was also looking at one of these drives awhile ago.  However, one of the
reasons I stayed away was that, according to MacUser's hard drive ratings,
which were in the Feb (?) 90 issue, which I don't have for reference here,
the Micronet MP was by far the slowest of all the drives tested.  Benchmarks
don't always play a direct relationship upon actual speed, but often there
is.

It is also possible that there was simply an error in the speed ratings.  The
MP was _far_ slower than anything else, by at least a factor of 2.

Nonetheless, I agree with you that its size and lack of a power cord would
make it very convenient.
