Its capacity is 570 Megabytes and runs $4,899 retail with the preformatted disks at $399 retail. Maybe I'm missing some marbles, but wouldn't this be better than a CD-ROM ? Updating would certainly be cheaper, but with a higher startup-price. * Jim Pierce at Univ. of Southern Mississippi * Disclaimer: 'Documentation? There's no documentation for bitnet.
