I would not recommend the RANA as Infoworld reported that RANA has gone out
of business.  It is also rumored that Apple will be introducing a 800K
3 1/2" drive for the ][ in January.

I've heard mostly good things about the Sider.  One thing you should
note is that it might not work for CP/M if you have a 64K CP/M card.
You might need a special driver which they probably haven't written

work on?--
