I'm interested in a Quantum 105 or 210 MB hard drive.  The back
of MacWeek has lots of vendors that sell the drive.  What's the
difference in these drives, technically?


	1) Do the vendors have their own drivers/formatters?

	2) If so, how much do they differ?
	
	3) Why not use the Apple disk driver and formatter s/w?

	4) Any recommendations?
