What do you mean by HIGH DENSITY? By Macintosh standard, high density floppy
drive is 1.44 MB format, is that what you're talking about? Again, SuperDrive
is used by Apple Macintosh to identify 1.44 MB drive, is that what you mean?

I believe you in the price, actually MacDirect also sells the Fujitsu for 
$99, I bought mine at school here for $150 before I knew it.

But I don't believe your claim (twice), that those drive to be High Density.
less power and quieter compare to what? Yes to the original Mac drive maybe,
but the one you are countering talked about a compatible model, without
stating which, how do you compare? You can say it takes little power and
is very quiet, but what you said is not completed without stating the
counter subject.
