I tried email but it was a no go . . .

I recently ordered a Quantum 105mb from APS, $379 for the internal version.
I put in in a case my neighbor had and, poof....  For $379 and 2meg of
memory from my Apple //gs and I had a 105mb external drive for my Mac+.

This is the older Quantum, not the new LPS, but for the price I don't
think you can go wrong . . .

I have absolutly no complaints with either the drive or APS, and I've used
the drive extensivly since I got it . . .
