I have been using the MAX-80 from Hardware House for about two months now
and simply love it.  It is fast (wow) and reliable.  With the MAX-80, I have
160 MB of internal storage in my Mac II.  The other drive which is an apple
80SC holds A/UX.  Frankley, I like the Max-80 much better than the apple drive!

I am not an employee of nor have any other relations with Hardware House
except as a satisfied customer.
