[net.micro.amiga] 5.25" drive question

wen_b@h-sc1.UUCP (alvin wen) (01/16/86)

Can someone verify for me that the optional 5.25" drive only reads 360K
IBM PC disks, and will not, for example, write 880K to a quad-density disk?

Along those lines, can someone speculate as to why the 5.25"disk costs 
$100 more than the 3.5"?

why complain? for 33% more $, you get 50% bigger disks!   :-)
