floppies, or did you all just jump straight to RAD: and hard drives?"

I've been running three floppies for six months now, and it has greatly
reduced the number of hard-disk daydreams.  I love having separate disks
for system, application, and work files.

Be warned that the A500 power supply is marginal for three drives, and
some software doesn't recognize df2.
