I've had an AppleCrate 60 meg drive for about two months now
and have been quite satisfied.  I paid $839 for it (direct from
the vendor) and it arrived 3 days later, preformatted for the
MacPlus.  The diskette with the formatting/test utility was unreadable,
but I didn't need it to get the hard disk up and running, and they
sent a replacement out to me via 2nd day air.  I notice no speed difference
between it (it's a Seagate internally) and my DataFrame-20 (not XP), except
in getting to my larger :-) desktop.  I do notice the additional noise,
but its not what I would call loud; however the total of the two drives
plus SystemSaver fan and peripherals has crossed the threshold of quiet...
I now close the door to my home office for total quiet.
