The Cedar Knolls dealer advertised a modification kit for the 1050 that add true double density capability, and a claimed three times speed up in transfer rate. I have forgotten the manufacturer. Has anybody had any experience with such a modification?? ----------------------- James Van Ornum, AT&T Bell Laboratories, inhp4!houxu!jhv
