     You can get a Focus "Hard Card" Drive. A Focus Drive is a hard disk
plus IDE controller on a card which plugs into a Slot. You do not need to
mess with any cables, power supplies, or interface boards. The drives are
fast, very quite, and you do not need to worry about someone bonking it or
knocking it off a table. I've been using one in a IIgs for years without a
hitch-- very nice!

     Alltech's ad in the Fall issue of II Alive lists a 120MB model for
$159 and a 200MB model for $199. According to the ad, Focus works in the
IIe as well as the IIgs. Alltech's number is 619-724-2404. Ask for Tony
Diaz, if you have any questions about fitting one into your system.
