I'd like to add my $0.02.  When i put the word out that i wanted a UniDisk
for $35, i had three offers.  I think they're still around and to be had
for the asking.  If you're into making/recreating disk images and going
between your emulators on your Mac and the real thing on your desk, then
I'd strongly recommend getting a 3.5" drive for your ][.  That way you can
use Copy][+ to make disk images.  If you want more info on how to do this,
let me know.
