  Well, he might want to consider using it IN ADDITION to the standard
TT hard drive... The TT DOES have an ASCI/DMA port, you know.  And
a SCSI port, I think (I have neither touched nor seen a TT, but
with all the "TT Information Sheets" posted over the past nn years,
I think I'm pretty safe :-)

  I think that once the TT "market" develops to a point where there
will be machines sitting on shelves (without hordes in line to buy 
them), there will be a case for dealers breaking up the package.  But
as long as Atari & the dealers can sell the things as-is, why
bother?
