A friend of mine has been dealing with Jasmine for a couple
of months now.  First he ordered their disk with a scsi
adapter for his 512kE, it did'nt work.  He returned the goods
and received his refund.

Then he upgraded to a MAC Plus and ordered another hard
disk from Jasmine...it didn't work either.  He sent it back and
received the same drive with a new cable...it worked fine, but
he could not reformat it.  He sent it back yet another time and,
yesterday, he received a new drive.  My friend then hooked it
up, but the machine would not boot...he then reformatted it, and
it has been working well now for about 24 hours.  I will write
back if it has any problems.

In summary from my friends experiences and net responses, it appears
that jasmine has a good disk, but may have flakey scsi adapter problems
(for those of without Mac Plus), and may have some flakey cables.

One very important thing is that they appear to be very sincere
and helpful in dealing with problems until they are worked out.

In conclusion, if you want a hard disk for your Mac, you should
look into Jasmine's products.
