Neil I think the 3.5" drive would have helped to create a Standard Drive for the Atari 8-bits. Tho you may be right about software companies not wanting to change. Most of the Atari 8-bit users I know all use different drives and Dos. Will your Ados work on these drives (Rana,Indus,Trak, Happys,ICD ench,Amdek). I'm sure some of us 8-bitters would appreciate the ability of ados to handle Hard disks. I hope Ados is not as slow as GEOS is on the C64. Now that more 8-bitters have the oportunities to use Structured Languages and Memory upgrades (256K,320K) A 360K DS/DD drive is not going to cut the mustard. William M.
