I just saw (actually about a month ago, but I havn't seen anyone post about it so here goes) the Supra FD-10 disk drive in "Byte". This drive allows you to save ten megabytes on a 5 1/4 floppy disk. It acts as a hard disk, and is said to take 80 milliseconds to access. It comes with software and cables. It plugs into the DMA port, and costs $895 for the Atari and Mac, and $1095 for the Amiga<--Ha Ha they have to pay more he,he. :-) I called up my Atari dealer, and they said that they had talked to Supra a week ago. Supra was finishing the software, and the store expected to have it in about two weeks. If you want more info, contact Supra yourself: Supra Corp. 1133 Commercial Way Albany OR 97321 Phone: (503) 967-9075 Aric Friesen Addresses: Genie: A.FRIESEN ARPA: Friesen%PCO@BCO-MULTICS.ARPA "Exterminate!

Does anybody have a beta of this drive? -- David Beckemeyer | "To understand ranch lingo all yuh Beckemeyer Development Tools | have to do is to know in advance what 478 Santa Clara Ave, Oakland, CA 94610 | the other feller means an' then pay UUCP: ...!ihnp4!hoptoad!bdt!david | no attention to what he says"
