Article-I.D.: ihuxf.226 Posted: Sat Feb 26 12:53:28 1983 Received: Sun Feb 27 02:15:18 1983 Reply-To: bryan@ihuxf.UUCP (Bryan K. DeLaney) The following was seen in EDN magazine. Sony and 12 other companies have agreed to a standard 3.5 inch floppy-disk format. The agreement calls for an 80 track disk with 135 tpi density, storing .5 meg bytes per side. The disk comes inside a 90 x 94 x34 mm cartridge. The companies: ATARI, Shugart Associates, Verbatim, Fuji, TDK, Athana, BASF,Memorex 3M, Wabash, Datatech, Xidex, and Sony. Does this mean that we will, in the near future, see a new disk drive for the Atari computers? ihuxf!bryan Bryan DeLaney BTL Naperville, IL
