  Okay, my wonderfully inactive-becoming-senile-21-year-old brain
mislead me.  From all the wonderful email I found that the new NeXTs
have a 2.88 meg floppy drive.  One writer said that they are SCSI. If
this is true then I assume all that remains in connecting it to the ST
is software to format it and whatnot (Besides a ASCI to SCSI adapter).
But am I missing something?  This seems promising.
