[comp.sys.atari.st] Atari 60Mb disk...

I've been trying to acquire a 60Mb Supra drive for my 1040, but there seems
to be a supply problem...  The 'offical' UK Supra importer says that they
will have them in stock in 'ten working days', but that they won't be able
to quote a price because Atari are just launching their own 60M disk.  The
Atari disk is supposed to be cheaper than the Supra, so Supra may need to
modify their price, to hold the market.

Does anyone know more about this ??  Specifically, is the Atari disk still
slower and/or louder than the Supra ??  How much of a price drop can I
expect ??  How long will it take for Atari to get their act together and
announce a price ??

I'm after a 60M drive because I want to use TOS + Minix + Aladin with
about 20M each.  I'd get a bigger disk, but I don't have the money...
 
Thanks in advance...
