Pretty >reasonable. I've seen these disks mentioned here before. Our place charges $150 for blank OD disks, which I'm pretty sure are the one-sided variety. I have a 030 cube with OD drive and 330MB hard disk, now upgraded to 040 w/ OS 2.0. I'd like to hear from confirmation from someone who has actually used the two-side OD disks in this drive: is it 256MB per side, does everything work exactly as for the old (one-sided) media, apart from your have to remember which way up is? I ask because if all is well, it would be like buying one disk and getting a second one for $29, for me. <> Tact is the unsaid part of what you're thinking. -- Jess Anderson <> Madison Academic Computing Center <> University of Wisconsin Internet: anderson@macc.wisc.edu <-best, UUCP:{}!uwvax!macc.wisc.edu!anderson NeXTmail w/attachments: anderson@yak.macc.wisc.edu Bitnet: anderson@wiscmacc Room 3130 <> 1210 West Dayton Street / Madison WI 53706 <> Phone 608/262-5888
