[deleted] >Klamer. Hmm, with the opening of the European market, things will probably change. We (some friends and me) are selling hard disks for the ST here in Germany. With a BMS200 (yes, we sell them, see address below...) and one of a variety of cases and power supplies, a 82 MB disk will cost DM 1800,- (about Hfl 1620,-). Even ATARI sells their Megadisk 30 for about DM 900,- (Hfl 820,-). You might try a trip to Germany.... ______________________________________________________________________ / Michael Vishchers | History repeats itself.\ | michaelv@watzman.uucp | Has to. | | (agrusow@exunido.uucp) | No one listens. | | (I think) | (steve turner) | \______________________________________________________________________/ / Home address:: Frohnhauser Str. 233 D-4300 Essen 1 West-Germany\ ________________________________________________________________________
