What is the {best, easiest, cheapest} way of upgrading the disk
storage on a IIe to over a Megabyte?

I don't feel like adding a string a 10 Apple disk drives with 5
controllers to do this!

Can you recommend:

	a- Any other 5 1/4" drives for the IIe, preferably with
           close to 0.5M storage/drive?
	b- Any 8" drives with more than 0.5M storage/drive?
	c- A 5MB or 10MB Hard Disk?

that works without any problem under DOS, ProDOS and a Microsoft
Z-80 SoftCard?

Have you used any of the above? What were your experiences?

10MB HDs for the (yeech!) IBM PC seem to be going for less than
$600.00 these days. Is there anything even half as good for a
IIe?

Thanks,
