	I don't know how popular they were, but here in Canada Atari used
to sell the 520 with a monitor model PS3000.  The PS3000 had the SS drive
built in right into the monitor case, right below the picture tube.  Does
anyone have experience with upgrading these from single- to double-sided?

	As a special favour to a friend, I've taken it upon myself to 
upgrade his system, starting with the floppy.  But both the monitor and
the floppy connectors are on one board and now I'm confused.  If I can't
replace the mechanism, how about adding an external, but the *external* has
to be drive A.  Is this possible?

	I've thought of one other option.  How does the Atari policy on 
upgrades go?  What if I wanted to trade the monitor+drive for and an
external drive and monitor?  

	Thanks for your advice.
