Folks,

	Two of us need replacement floppy (5.25") disk drives  for Apple
IIe machines (remember them?).  The ads in A+/InCider have yielded the
following list.  (There are duplicates on this list.   Also, I'm not
surwe that a few of the products work on a IIe.)  

	We solicit your comments about the reliability and quality of
any of these products and about whether the vendor can be trusted.
Basically, we don't want to fool around with a cheap product that won't
work without bother for a fairly long time.

	I'd prefer e-mail <abc@brl.mil> but will try to read the news if
that's more convenient for any of you.

	Thanks,

_Brint Cooper
