Hi, some comments about Jasmine Drives:

	We have a 80Meg at work and I have a 40Meg at home.  The 80 is a 
truely awesome piece of machinery.  With the Mac II it's speed is blinding.
My own 40, although not as fast because I have a Plus (and the 80 is a little
faster), is also fantastic.  The 40 is a little too quiet for my tastes: I
like to hear when my drive is doing something.  The documentation is very
adaquate and from the limited experience I have had with the technical
support, it is also good.  It arrived via Fed Exp the EXACT day they said it
would (about 2 weeks from when I ordered).

	All Jasmine drives come pre-formatted with 9 Meg of shareware
software, most of which is worth keeping.  They also come with a number of
Jasmine utlities: Formatter, Mount, Park (the heads to automatically park on
most of their models [all except the 10 Meg, I think]), etc. and backup
software.

	The drive comes with: a quiet fan, air filters, a push-button
selectable SCSI address, SCSI + power cable, two switched outlets in back of
drive, a Jasmine Floppy and a removable panel on bottom for SCSI terminators.

	All in all: I HIGHLY recommend them: Buy one today!!!!!

Good luck,
Gray Watson

p.s. no i'm not one of their dealers...
