I'm getting pretty confused about hard-disks with the Mac 512.  I've
looked at Paradise and seen ads for Warp-9 and MacBottom (all are
within the cost I can afford).  The main software I use won't run
on the Mac+ yet, so I can't make the jump to SCSI, even if I could
afford it.  (I'm definitely planning on installing 1Mb already).

The 20MB Warp-9 is the most intriguing because it mounts inside the Mac
and is user-installable ("Our techs have installed 'em in 9 minutes") and
they say it's compatible with both the 512 and the Plus.  Is it?  Is it
reliable?  Is it significantly faster than the Paradise (or other printer
port HDs)?  Are there heat problems?

I'd sure appreciate EMail with suggestions and war-stories.  I've pretty
much got to hold the price under $1K for a hard-disk and I'd like to
maximize the effect of spending that.

Thanks in advance,
...Kris
