Tidied›and reprinted from ENGLAND's (??) Dean›Garraghty's    newsletter   #2,   with›thanks!›-----------------------------------››I  just  thought  I'd  tell  everybody›about  an  interesting upgrade for the›XF  551 disk drive, from CSS (Computer›Software   Services).   The   XF   551›Conversion  allows  use  of  either  a›5.25"  or  3.5"  mechanism.  The  dual›drive upgrade allows use of both 5.25"›and  3.5"  drives. The DIP switches in›the  rear  control the drive number of›the  first  5.25"; the 3.5" drive will›assume the next higher drive number.››The  other  feature of this upgrade is›the  ability  to  read IBM and ST 360K›and 720K disks, with the separate disk›reader  program.  It  cannot  read IBM›high density disks (1.2 or 1.44 meg).››It  works  great!  Transferring  files›with  it  is a breeze -- you can get a›directory  of  an  ST  or PC disk, and›even  convert EOL's automatically with›the supplied program. It's nice to see›somebody  out  there still cares about›the  8-bit -- thanks Bob Puff! It even›accesses  files  within subdirectories›on IBM/ST disks.››I  recently  purchased a Blackbox from›CSS,   which   allows  you  to  easily›interface  SCSI/SASI  hard  drives  to›your 8-bit -- another great job by Bob›Puff.  It's  nice  to see somebody out›there  still  doing  something  on our›computers.››You can get more information from CSS,›their  BBS  number  is (716) 247-7157;›the voice number is (716) 586-5545.›› *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*›
