RANA and TRAK are both producing disk drives for the Atari computers. They are single or double density and cost about 300 to 350 mail order. Also look around for Atari`s 810 disk drives at K-mart, Venture, or other discount store for a real bargins on a display models. A friend bought one for $200.00 dollars. Alas it was their last one and they just wanted to dump it since they were selling the 1050`s. The 1050`s go for about 380 which is a lot better than the price for an new 810. Remember that Atari products ,the old line anyway, do not interfer with anything. My television puts out more EMI than my computer or disk drive. Also if you buy an atari disk drive it is worth your while to get their service contract on your system. When my parents old 810 (one of the first ones made) broke and Atari replaced the entire mechanical guts for nothing. ihuxf!bryan Bryan K. DeLaney BTL Naperville IL P.S. The Atari 810 disk drive is actually a MPI model 51 disk drive with Atari`s own controller and power supply boards.
