A while ago, someone said that Konika 10-meg removable drives could be
be purchased for about $700, and the disks for about $10. If so, who
offers such a deal, and does the drive work with the GVP controller?
Also, any experiences (non-sexual, of course) with the drive would be
appreciated, such as seek time, data integrity on those 10-meg disks,
etc. Thanks.

(I don't have the phone number handy but they advertise alot...) I have no idea about the GVP controller. > Also, any experiences (non-sexual, of course) with the drive would be > appreciated, such as seek time, data integrity on those 10-meg disks, > etc. Thanks. The drive is (in a word) FANTASTIC! I use it alot! I have a LaserFont disk (Full), PD games disk (Full), backups for 3 10MB partitions of my hard drive, PD Source disk (Full, starting #2), and a just-started UUCP disk with news (probably Full by the time I get home ;-}). -- - Andrew R.
