Does anyone [...] Terry, I can't comment about the Fujitsu drives, but I have owned a drive that uses the Connor 3.5" mechanism for about a year. I own a Micronet MP100 that is marketed for the Mac (but works perfectly well with a //). They are quiet, quick & the MP100 has a small footprint...no larger than an Apple 3.5" drive. It takes its power from the daisy chain port of an external disk drive or directly from the Smartport (depending on your drive setup). I love mine and would highly recommend it. -- Kevin S.
