I am planning to purchase a hard drive and AUX for my IIsi.
Can anyone recommend a particular hard drive?

I don't want to spend too much money.  

I was thinking of the Quantum LPS105.(good/bad?)
also, the Wren Runner II 330meg??(a little expensive)
or the Maxtor(80meg)?


I have seen the quantum for $499 and I understand that they are
fairly fast.  The Wren drive from APS is $1599(I think) and is
very fast from what I hear.  Finally, the Maxtor is $429 from APS.
Is it too slow or ok.  Is 80megs sufficient initially?  Is 105megs
Sufficient?

Any experiences/suggestions are appreciated.

Also, How much ram do I need.  I know Apple says 4megs minimum but
how much is recommended.  I have 5 now.  Is it better to spend the
money to move up to 9, or spend the money and move up the the Wren
drive?

Thanks for any info,
Kane McKenzie
