Okay.  It's time to purchase some (~200Mb) of external storage for my 
NeXTStation.  The NeXT mail-order houses sell a variety of 'plug&play' 
solutions for the NeXT, but charge a big premium for a black case & format-
ting job.  For example: 

  MicroTek   Quantum 200Mb External - Black Case & Cable     $1159

Various mail-order houses in MacWeek offer external Quantum 200Mb drives for
about $859-$870.  A cable costs $49 from NeXTConnection.  My cost for an
additional 200Mb ~ $930 (w/shipping & insurance).  Are there any horror 
stories (or wonderful successes) I should hear about before I leap into the
abyss????

Tyler

PS: I know I can get an extra 400Mb for ~ $600 more, however, I am limited
to $1000.
