Does anyone know anything about the MacStack hard drives from CMS
Enhancements, Inc. of Tustin, CA?  They are advertised in the June
MacUser (page 45).

The reason that I am interested is that a local dealer is selling the
20 meg model for $625 with some backup software, etc.  The price is
right, but I am uneasy that I have not heard of anyone who has tried
this drive.  The dealer says that CMS is a major PC disk maker looking
to be a big deal in the Mac market.  Any comments on that? (They
weren't the outfit that made the famous AT drives, were they?)

Here are some specs:
	Formatted capacity:	20.6 mb
	Average Access time:	65 ms
	Num. heads per drive:	4
	Num cyls. per drive:	612
	MTBF			20,000 hours
	Cabinet size		3.5 x 10.5 x 10"
	External ID select	"0" to "6"
	Warranty		1 year

Please send mail and I will post a summary.
