An item in the announcements column of the June Mini-Micro Systems
talks about two low-cost 3 1/2 inch winchesters being worked up by
Tandon.  The 20Mb will go for $300 in OEM lots; the 10Mb, which is
specifically mentioned as 'planned for use by Atari in the ST series',
will 'sell for less than $100 in large OEM quantities'. 

Access time given for the drives is 85 ms, comparable to the PC-XT
(and for that matter, the AT&T 7300).  If the above holds true,
Tramiel's 'boasts' on low-cost hard disks don't seem nearly so
wild.
