I'm suprised you're not looking at the DataFrame XP 40 (the one without the
tape).  I've had mine for a couple of months now, so I can't comment on long
term reliability, but short term has been great.  Very fast (much faster then
either the 20 or the 20 XP), but otherwise very much like the DataFrame 20
(except for the extra 20 mb).  I bought mine from ComputerWare in Palo Alto
current price there is $1150.

I'm not associated with either SuperMac or ComputerWare except as a happy
(but poor :-) customer.

Communication Solutions, Inc.            think of one way to spell a word.
