{_I have been using the Laser 3.5 drives for some time.  They are directly
Mac-compatible, but require Laser's "univerrsal sal drive controller card"
   to
work on a IIe or IIgs.  They are not fast enough to profit from the 2:1
interleaving, and have about the same speed (my vague impression) as the
Unidisk in 4:1 format.  They are more "transparent" to the system than the

Unidisk, in that they work as well as the Apple 3.5 drive when the IIgs
finds its boot drive on a "scan".  So far I have been very happy with them.
