Note that all of my info comes from talking to the CMS folks on CIS.  Also,
I am working with them to get them onto Usenet!!!  Stay tuned.

The CMS 60 meg drive is cheaper than the 40 meg!  At least, for the Apple2
it is.  That is because CMS has a special Apple 2 model which includes the
SCSI card.  It is about $1100 list, but I have seen it mail order for as
little as $920.  The 40 meg disk is about $1000 list but you have to buy
the SCSI card separately for about $125.  Go with the 60 meg (2 30 meg
prodos volumes ... sigh - sure wish I could win ohio's 30 million dollar
lottery today :-)).  Folks on CIS are QUITE happy with CMS and the 60 meg
drive.  the only problem that I have heard of is that it needs to be powered
on when you boot the machine (before?) and needs to be power cycled if you
power cycle your apple.  At least, that is how I understand it.
