A few questions about the ST from a prospective customer:

What's the deal with the disk drives? I understand that with
the default $700 monochrome package (monitor, cpu, keyboard,
and disk drive) the drive is a single sided 360K one. Are there
also double sided drives available? If so, can you get a double
sided drive instead?

Is a development system (full documentation + a C compiler)
easily available? How much does it run?

How much would a 1200 baud modem + a smart terminal emulator
(if any exists) run? Any recommendations for particular brands?

What's the last word on hard disk availability?

Hope to hear from all you ST owners out there. If the replies
are interesting enough, I'll summarize to the net.
