I.B. Computers in Portland, Oregon, has just released 5 1/4" disk drives for
the ST.  The double sided 40 track half height drives complete with power
supply and ST beige case will sell around $250.  They have tried using it
with MS-DOS 2.0, 2.1, 3.0, and 3.1 formatted disks off IBMs (and clones)
with no problems of file transferring.  Atari even has picked up one for
review from what I've heard.  I've used one to port a 200+ file Dbase II
application over to the ST with no problems.

If you are interested in contacting them you can get a hold of them at:

P.S. No, I don't get a commision from this!
