San Diego; freelance writer Lines: 13 They are incorrect that Kodak is the only people building those very-hih capy floppy drives. Kodak is second-sourcing them from DriveTek, a co. formed by a bunch of disgruntled Burroughs (well, Ampex) employees. They do indeed have 3.33 meg capacity--unformatted. Formatted, about 2-1/2 megs. The disks are recorded at an incredible 192 TPI-- four times the density of IBM PC disques. KayPro and Rana are supposed to use these drives, just as soon as large quantites are available. Someone better at math can work out the record time available at 2-1/2 megs a shot. Alex
