[comp.sys.atari.st] Panasonic drive reliability?

lansd@utgpu.UUCP (07/11/87)

    I have been looking around for an external double sided drive for
my Atari here in Toronto. The only two on the market seem to be the
expensive Atari model ($360.00 CDN), and the Panasonic model ($275).
    Sometime in the last two weeks I have heard from someone that the
Panasonic has problems with diskettes written on an Atari drive. Any
truth to this statement? Any reliability problems with the Panasonic?
I don't feel comfortable buying a drive that is almost $100 cheaper
than the Atari one!
