Right now, it only costs $149.95, so scoop it up while you can! The Future Systems GTS drives for the ST go up to 83 tracks (I believe). However, it costs around $200.

Not exactly the most useful thing in the world but fun to look at and helpful in determinating if your floppy needs defragging. After you've had it for awhile, you can't live without it. Whenever I use a regular SF314 now, I keep looking for a track indicator and feel disappointment whenever I realize that there isn't one. Also, most mail order places sell the GTS-100 for $189.95 and the GTS-100X (a stripped down version sans track indicator) for $179.95. -- Henry Kwan / FWB, Inc. | What The ST Needs: claris!wet!logic@ames.arc.nasa.gov | A) 50 Mhz 68030/68882 cca.ucsf.edu!wet!logic@cgl.ucsf.edu | B) 1280x960x32 graphics {claris,ucsfcca,hoptoad,lamc}!wet!logic | C) 32-voice, stereo sound

I am i I'm in the market for an external DS/DD drive for my 1040ST. It *must* go to 82 tracks, I understand that not all Atari brand drives will do so...true? If so, can somebody tell me of 3rd party drive that will. thanks.. -=->G<-=-
