I have been using a Side 10 Meg for a while, since they
came out.  I love it.  It is quite a deal as far as
hard disks for Apple IIs are concerned; most are still
very overpriced, the Sider is only a little overpriced
(considering you can get a 10 meg for an IBM for $295
mail order).
First Class has reported to have sold 15,000 Siders since
they started shipping.  Accordingly, delivery may be
as late as 3 weeks, and tech support lines are very
busy.
First Class has announced a 20Meg drive (currently shipping),
and a tape backup for the Sider (which is really needed,
since the backup utilities provided are somewhat archaic,
and obviously require much disk shuffling.
