I noticed in net.micro.cpm that Conal.Elliott@CMU-CS-CAD.ARPA has the
Astra 1620 dual disk for the Atari.  This unit looks interesting,
especially at the price ($469) Cosmic Computers offers; a double/single
density, two drive system for about the price of a single density,
single drive Atari 810 (old prices, I know, but still).

To the point of this note:  I have not seen here or in the magazines
a review of the Astra disk system.  Would someone on this net comment
on this system,  is it a good disk system,  worth the price or
worthless at any price??  ...
