- Ah yes... I'd forgotten about the Floptical drives..!
-
- True, that would fill most of the functions of an external floppy drive,
- and as Dan mentioned, it comes with a free 21 Meg removable media
- "semi hard" drive..
-
- It's most glaring drawback though is $300 for a "second floppy drive"..
-
- It feels hard to justify that when you can get 100-120 Megs of "real"
- hard drive for about that much, or a 44Meg SyQuest.. (then again, I paid
- a lot more than that for my first Atari 810 disk drive..!)
