The Maxell's I have seen didn't look too good, kind of flimsy. All, and I *MEAN* all of the Memorex disks I have seen were badly made. Out of two boxes I had, four wouldn't format. On another disk subject, there was an ad in the New York Times the other day from a place in Nashua New Hampshire that said they had the Davong 10Mb for ~$2000. Most places seem to have the tecmar 5Mb in stock for ~1995, it seems well worth the extra bucks for the extra 5Mb. Both of these units use the Modem line, but I heard from a friend whos' an Apple Dealer that Davong may be coming out with a hard disk that works on the parellel port.
