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.
