["Life is full of little suprises." - Pandora] I.B. Computers in Portland, Oregon, has just released 5 1/4" disk drives for the ST. The double sided 40 track half height drives complete with power supply and ST beige case will sell around $250. They have tried using it with MS-DOS 2.0, 2.1, 3.0, and 3.1 formatted disks off IBMs (and clones) with no problems of file transferring. Atari even has picked up one for review from what I've heard. I've used one to port a 200+ file Dbase II application over to the ST with no problems. If you are interested in contacting them you can get a hold of them at: I.B. Computers 1519 S.W. Marlow Ave. Portland, OR 97225 (503) 297-9427 (voice) (503) 292-1321 (BBS 300/1200 baud, 24hrs) P.S. No, I don't get a commision from this! Russell Schwartz russ@percival omsi@reed
