A friend of mine is very interested in the possibility of buying an Atari ST
and Magic Sac as an alternative to buying a Mac.  Can anybody give me a
current status report on:

	(a) Software that will and will not run with Magic Sac;
and
	(b) Estimated price and availability date for the rumored
	    Data Pacific Macintosh-compatible floppy drive for the ST?

Is there any other source for an ST drive that can read/write Mac disks?

Any other information on advantages or disadvantages of an ST with Magic Sac
would be appreciated.
