No. The drives run at a higher data rate (They're really 2MB
unformatted; current Amiga drives and 760K IBM drives are 1 MB
unformatted). The current Paula cannot handle 2MB floppies
(unless you run them at 150 RPM :-( ).
>2. Will the 2500UX have a tape drive available? What kind? Media size?
Yes. I don't know what kind.
