The computer department in my college is selling used IBM p/2 1.44 megabyte floppies. They are selling them at a reduced price to get rid of surplus, and I think it would be a good addition to my atari system. These drives are physically the same as the 3 1/2 inch drive in my 1040 st. All I would have to do is pop open the case, pull out the drive, and put in the 1.44 megger. However, I'm not sure if the atari would accept this drive. Does the Atari expect a 360k or 720k drive only or will it run the 1.44? If so, will I need special software? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Derrick Williams - Rochester Institute of Technology | Insert snappy - - adw3345@ritvax - Computer Engineering | quotation here - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
