I was wondering, is the diff between the slower (i.e. Atari Megafile 30)
hard drives and the quicker (28 ms) drives noticeable in day-to-day
usage.  I understand I can get a Megafile 30 for $499 and am debating
about holding out for a faster (& more expensive) drive.

On another note, how about some reports on these 'Frog' drives :-} with
the removable media.  Fast? Reliable? Standard? Compatible (with Atari-
'soon'-to-be-released-drives)?
