The package will be available in both S-100 plug-in and standalone configurations. The one I've just ordered includes a controller, drive, cables and software for automatical- ly making the drive act like any one of the soft-sectored formats, including Osborne, KayPro, Xerox, TeleVideo, SuperBrain, etc. Such a device will be invaluable to me for making it possible to stuff disks in all these formats without having to buy the machines they will be used on. I suspect I am not alone in needing this ability! Exact prices have not been finalized yet, but the S-100 plug-in version should be under $1400 complete.
