I'll be buying a hard disk sometime in the near future and would like to
know the best buy.  I was planning on purchasing Rodime, since I heard
that they behaved nicely under control of Apple's drivers.  Now it appears
that 6.0 just thwarted those plans.

I need a drive that's solid (good-quality), around 50 MBytes, and
partitionable.

Any suggestions?

Email is welcome, but since I read this group regularly, I'll see it if
you post.  I'll summarize responses.
