Ah, but don't forget that the Future Systems GTS-100 drive includes that
nice track indicator!  Not exactly the most useful thing in the world but
fun to look at and helpful in determinating if your floppy needs defragging.
After you've had it for awhile, you can't live without it.  Whenever I use a
regular SF314 now, I keep looking for a track indicator and feel
disappointment whenever I realize that there isn't one.

Also, most mail order places sell the GTS-100 for $189.95 and the GTS-100X
(a stripped down version sans track indicator) for $179.95.
