Supposedly CDC makes the disks for the AT&T 3b2, and one can go to them direct to obtain replacements of various sizes upto 140 meg (at reasonable prioces). Does anyone have a phone number for CDC sales so that we can veriphy this rumor (and place an order), please??? Thanx. Ihor Kinal hru3c!ijk (don't send mail to hou5e - it dies in a few days).

Well, that's a good rumor. There are only 5 disks approved for use and supported in the 3B2/300 and 3B2/400 computers: (all sizes formatted) Seagate 10MB disk (3B2/300 only) CDC 30 MB CDC 72 MB Priam 72 MB Micropolis 72 MB If you put anything else in you void your service contract. You can be sneaky and replace the disk with the original and then call service. You will also need the disk formatting utilities to format any other non-standard disk before it is used.
