No more SWAPCOPY! However, I'm not sure if I want to get another 8" Mitsubishi or a hard disk. Actually I know that I want hard disk but the cost has been hard to justify. This seems to be changing. I have seen ads. for Shugart 5 Mbyte Hard Disks for around $150 and a CompuPro Disk3 controller for around $500. The floppy will cost about $400. Now that I have decided to spend $400, comming up with another $250 is a whole lot easier to justify. Questions: Has anyone on the net done this or have any suggestions? Are these disk drives any good? Is the Disk3 any good? Please send responses to BRAKE@ARI-HQ1 ------
