The new XF551 disk drive was announced at CES.  It is a double sided,
double density drive which operates at 3 times the speed of the 1050
drive.  Its new DOS is called ADOS, which is being finalized by OSS,
and features a heirarchial file structure (like the ST and MSDOS).
Pricing should be very close to the current 1050 price.  Availibility
was not yet announced, but is expected before the end of the year.
