Don't lay out $200 for a new platinum Apple 3.5 800K external drive. The 
Cutting Edge 800K external drive  can be bought for about $179 from 
several vendors. It should work o.k with //gs and PC Transporter (it's
marketed for Mac thru SE). It *WON'T** work with a //e or //c (and I 
suppose not with a //c+, but perhaps . . . . Interesting question. Is
the appropriate external 3.5 drive for a //c+ the Unidisk 3.5 or the
platinum Apple 3.5?)

One vendor is MacWarehouse, at 1-800-255-6227. Their i.d. number for the
drive is DRI 0042. Their number works 0800-2300, M-F; 0800-2000, S (Eastern
Time [is there really any other?].
