I bought my Quantum Prodrive 105 from Alliance Peripherals (800)
233-7550. They're great. Works like a charm and comes with EVERYTHING
(sans Torx and cracker) you need to install it, even into a two floppy Mac.

I bought mine for $699, but my friend called two days ago and bought his
for $669. It comes bundled with 3 meg of PD and shareware, and Alliance
includes their own formatting and partitioning software. The dirve
itslef is pre-formatted. Their tech support is very knowledgeable and
their instructions are well laid out.

APS also sells Redux 1.6 with the drives for $30 ($16 less than
MacConnection). I have no complaints. No surcharge on VISA or MC.
