1: I understand certain Mac drives don't work on a NeXT.  But, even if everyone
responds yes, I'll be just as happy.
2: There have been a lot of caveats in the drive specs I've received so far.
3: If people continue to send in the best deals they find every month, the
list will stay up-to-date.  Having a list on-line and sorted by price rather
than being forced to paw through Computer Shopper (which is sorted by
dealership) would be a win, I think.

Of course, it just won't work if people don't send me drive info.  This means
ewe.
