I think that this is something new! I got a sheet of paper at the Hannover Fair with the specifications of computer and floppies. In this paper were only mentioned the 520 ST CPU and the SF 314 and SF 354 floppies. The SF 314 is 3.5" and 1 Mbyte, the SF 354 is 3.5" and 0.5 Mbyte. Both are "compatible"(?!) to the 520 ST and have a seriell ATARI-Interface. I don't know what "compatible" means in this case. The 250 Kbyte Floppy was neither mentioned, nor shown. SF 354 and SF 314 were both working. Uwe Hoch Computer Science Department University of Dortmund 4600 Dortmund 50 P.O. Box 500500 West Germany
