I found only one prcie, though I'll look some more. What I found is $1200 for 40 meg. Sorry, but I know that up 370M drives exist for the MAC, I don't have a price, though. The thing that I'd look at is a bernoulli box with a hard drive. They sell things that have 80meg hard drives with one 20 meg floppy ($50/floppy). If you could get that in a 160Meg version, heaven.... Spool sources forever. Don't dismiss those floppies - I've worked with no hard drive, just using them. Access and transfer time is good (access is about 40millaseconds if it's spinning, you write a ping process to keep it spinning). -- Larry McVoy mcvoy@rsch.wisc.edu or uwvax!mcvoy "It's a joke, son!
