I>'ve read about the AMR drive ($200, except it has a bug with the ROM 03 when
b>eing polled), the AE drive (not as reliable as Apple's drive, $200, and do I
w>ant to support AE?), the Sprite SD340 (according to InCider, only works as an
8>00K drive on a II)...

What bug in the AMR 3.5 drive? I have had one for over a year with no problems;
I do have a ROM 03. I have aboslutely no reservations in recommending the AMR
dirve.
