What are the going recommendations for hard disks for personal use with
Hypercard?  Jasmine seems to think that their 10MB removable is the perfect
drive, and I somewhat believe them, as HyperCard stacks do eat up disk space.
However, is $1000 for 30MB (w/30 more MB for $120) worth it?  Maybe in the long
run...but it is a lot of money.  I heard of a 40MB la Cie for around $500.  Is
that my better option, as SCSI drives as chainable?  I intend on keeping all
documents, but not stacks, on floppy so I don't need to pay millions for
reliability.  I'm pretty good at backing up, too.

Please email any possible info, as I have to make a decision soon, and I'll mail
you some nifty PD stack for your troubles.

Many thanks,
