I have ordered and received a drive from Jasmine.  the jasmine portable 40meg
for $299.  As a matter of fact, I ordered in 12/31/90 and received it on 1/3/91.
and it had been delivered 1/2/91, but I wasn't home.  So I am very happy with 
Jasmine at the moment, and the drive is working like a charm, although the 
software that they sent with the drive, doesn't want to recognize the drive
as a Jasmine Drive.  So if I ever need to low level format it, I could have some
problems.
