With about _3 times_ the storage and _double speed_ read and write (compared to a 1050 using 2.5) I couldn't live without my '551 and SDX. In fact it is my only drive! Flight Sim. is available on CARTRIDGE (thus no disk except for scenery...) BUT only when you buy an XE-GS. Seems to me that if they're gonna ditch the 8-bits they might as well release FSII on cart to the masses! I'm not gonna buy an XE-GS or a 1050 just for FSII! -- Duane Tribe tribe@ted.cs.uidaho.edu
