You can buy a Kaypro-II for the newly-reduced price of $1595 and get a newly- announced program that lets the Kaypro-II read and write all those 5-1/4" formats you mentioned. If I needed that ability, I'd certainly want to consider the Kaypro-II approach rather than the "Disk Maker" because I'd have a whole computer rather than a drive and controller to add to my present system. I hope Rick Rump will consider this before he sets his final price on the "Disk Maker". My personal opinion is that it shouldn't sell for more than $700. --Keith
