[net.micro.atari] Atari Disk Drive Query

gjw@floyd.UUCP (Greg Wroclawski) (03/30/84)

	I am ready to buy a disk drive for my 800. I've narrowed the 
choice down to one of two and would appreciate any coments concerning
either one to make my final selection. The choices are the TRAK AT-D2 or
the INDUS-GT. The INDUS advantages are that all the after market sofware
runs on it, also, it comes with a word processor and spreadsheet software.
The TRAK has a printer port with a 4K buffer. Does it come with any software
in the base price and can it work with most of the after market software.
If I go with the INDUS what would a buffered printer interface run me.

				Thanks in advance,

	I plan on buying a new Atari 1050 disk drive. The price of these
	has been coming down recently and for $145 its not a bad idea to
	have a spare. My question is whether is planning on discontinuing
	these units in the near future.
