I'm looking for a 3.5" drive for my brother's brand new IIgs.
[no...! don't flame me for trying to buy/sell here! I'll buy the thing from a
dealer!!]

I've read about the AMR drive ($200, except it has a bug with the ROM 03 when
being polled), the AE drive (not as reliable as Apple's drive, $200, and do I
want to support AE?), the Sprite SD340 (according to InCider, only works as an
800K drive on a II)...

Other than Apple's drive (almost $600 in Canada, new  :(     ), are there
alternatives? Will the Dataspace 800K drive work on a IIgs? I can get one
cheaply, but I don't want to get it if it won't work properly. Does anyone
have one working on a IIGS?

Thanks...
