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)? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Hodges | Me?
