And given the $600 price tag I suspect it is more like $300. Note: For those of you skeptics out there, go to one of these conferences and listen to the numbers the manufacturers are quoting for high (>100) quanities. I personally was quoted $100/Drive for DSDD 5.25 floppies if I could buy 101 of them. --Chuk -------
