I walked into our local atari store saturday looking to buy a double sided
3-1/4 inch drive for my 520 ST (I still have the original single sided
drive that came with it in 1986.)  When I saw the price was $300.00 I turned
around, made it look like I was just browsing, and then I left.  Heck, my
30 meg Supra barely cost twice as much -- what a rip off.

Does any third party hardware place sell double sided floppy drives (it is 
very incovenient to use software that is only distributed on DS disks.)?

I see mail order places with price info on Indus drives, but they only list
model numbers -- I'm not even sure they are 3-1/4".

Anybody have any recommendations?

Thanks,
