See the conference from CompuServe with Andy Hertzfeld.  There are some
comments on Haba products in general.  The overall opinion on MAUG(tm) is
that Haba drives are to be avoided.

As for PC Network, I called Haba, and they said that the 800k drive is
NOT yet available, they are still choosing a vendor for the drives ( this
was about three weeks ago -- long after the PC Network add appeared ).

I wonder how long till PC Network advertizes the Sider hard disk? :-)
And S1 for the Mac :-) :-) :-)
