: Microdrives don't have that limitation, and the smaller sizes
are
: fairly cheap (Pricewatch currently lists 340MB Microdrives
starting
: at $44).  Their power consumption should also be significantly
less
: than even a 2.5" hard drive. Given the relatively weak power
supplies
: in most Apple IIs (just killed one last night in a
moderately-loaded
: IIe), anything that keeps power consumption down is a Good
Thing.

The IBM MicroDrive IS a hard drive. With Platter and heads and
