Mr Bernardo,
        That is indeed a good price for a Sony Drive. Not being familar with
that particular model number (MFP-11) if it is double sided then it is a great
deal. The usual thing that has to be done to an add-on drive is removeing
terminators. Termination that works fine in the IBM/clone invironment causes
real havac in the ATARI st world. I find the RADIO SHACK externals when on sale
for $ 99.00 are pretty good. These are TEAC drives, after removing termination
and adding an external power supply form RADIO SHACK also about $10.00 They
work quite well. I use two internal TEAC's from RADIO SHACK in my modified
1040 st. as well as a built in 30meg hd.
