	I will be purchasing a hard disk which will be used on an 
enhanced 512K MacIntosh.  I am thinking of purchasing the internal
20m hard disk and a 2 meg upgrade from Mass Tech or purchasing the
Apple HD-20.

	I played with the Apple HD-20 for a while and it seemed 
fast enough to me.  But, it had only 3 meg of data on it.  I have
heard rumors that if the disk is almost full, exiting to the finder
or loading programs slows down a lot.  Is this true?  Also, how
does the MacBottom hard disk compare to the Apple HD-20?
