Have you look into Optima Technolgies prices on hard disks?
They are really good prices for Quantum HD's!  You can return
your second 3.5 floppy and get a $100 credit for a total net cost
to you of $349 ( That's 449 - 100(floppy drive) = $349 ) for a
31 megabyte, 50K MTBF, 28ms. 2 yr warranty. disk caching,
and a 30 day money back guarantee.  The best quality to price
HD for the Mac today is the Quantum..... 

Also, I think MacConnection or Programs Plus are advertising
a Miniscribe 20mb internal for $379 ( probably 65ms access).
Anyway, check out the Quantum line and look into MacUser's
classified sections for best prices. You can find a good deal
( can't say for sure if that means good drive in exchange) for
HD's today. Optimal's number is 800-637-0088.

Even, Ehmann Engineering is advertising a 31 meg internal
for $449. (800) 257-1666.  Anyway, if you can get a new one
for say about %10 - 15 more than a used one, get the new one!
