Hello:

	I am looking for a 30 to 60 Mbyte external hard disk for a Mac Plus
and I would appreciate any advice people on the net might have concerning
various brands.  This disk is for the use of my sister.  I would recommend
the same disk I'm using, a Jasmine 70 Mbyte hard disk, but the Jasmine disks
are just a little too expensive for her.  I have recently perused the
October issue of MacUser, and I found an advertisement that looked
interesting.  A mail-order outlet called "MacLand" (p. 97) sells CMS,
MicroNet, and other brands of hard disks for what appear to be rock-bottom
prices.  I was particularly interested in the CMS MacStack60 for $749, and
the MicroNet MicroStack62 for $739.  Both hard disks have about 60 Mbytes
capacity.  If any of you have disks of either of these brands, please send
me your opinion of them.  Also, I am open to suggestions of brands I have
not yet mentioned here.  I am also interested in knowing if anyone has any
opinions on the mail-order dealer, "MacLand."

				Thanks for your help,

				Bill Bushnell
