Several vendors currently have hard disks out for the ST.  The major ones are
Astra, Supra, and Atari.  Astra has one that includes a double-sided floppy
in the same case, a nice bit of packaging.  Supra has a large number of
sizes, ranging up to 250 meg (supposedly).  Atari has a 20 meg.  There are
also a number of third parties selling generic drives, notably here in
So. Cal..  I know at least two people who have gone the generic route, and
seem quite happy with the results.  The only drawbacks to going generic
are lack of support, and the need to forage for both hardware and software
to make it look nice and work.

Personally, I like the Astra, largly due to the packaging.  20meg + 1meg
floppy, in the space of a tall floppy, with no power rat.  I would like
to have more space, tho.

Rumor has it that PC-Ditto will work with a hard disk, but I have not
seen it done yet.
