I needed to get a disk drive for my son's Atari/XE game system, so I called IB Computers (a mail order store) to ask about what they have. They told me that the best buy for an XE would be an Atari Zone drive for 199.95. Can anyone tell me whether this is true, or tell me of their own recommendation. I can also use info about required memory and useful software, etc. Thanks in advance. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alaa Zeineldine Internet: alaa@tinton.ccur.com UUCP: ..{rutgers, masscomp, ..}!petsd!pecnos!alaa (201) 758 7344

>They told me that the best buy for an XE would be an Atari Zone drive >for 199.95. That price is a joke... You can buy a new Atari 1050 for around $1oo if you find one (99.9% of all software runs on it) or a new XF551 for about $150... Last time I looked (6 months?) they were both availible at L&Y Electronics Inc, 13644C Jefferson Davis Hwy., Woodbridge, VA 22191 703-494-3444 -- _ , _ , _ / ' ) / / ' ) / // _/_ _/_ / /--/ _ __/ /-< ______ _ . . // / __. ____ / / / (_</_(_/_ / ) (_) / <_/_)_(_/_</__<__(_/|_/ / <_<__ o
