According to MacWorld (May 1989) there is a drive that can be attached to the
Plus, Se and 512KE and reads Mess-Dozzz and some features of the new
SuperDrive. It connects to the Mac with a little box in the external floppy
disc port.
It's called Report and is made by Kennect. According to this article it should  cost about US$295.
I'm very interested in this little beastie, does anybody have some real world
info about it?

Greetings, Annard.
