I have seen the recent ads for this disk and it seems like a good
deal.  $995 is my kind of price for a 10 meg disk.
I called them, and they sent me their spec sheet.  The disk seems
standard, but a little slow with a 90 msec average seek time but
a 16 ms single track step time.  How does the XT compare with this?
Has anybody ordered one of these?  Got it yet?  Any comments
(by mail of course) to give?  I am thinking of ordering one next week.

I have seen the same disk advertised for $1595 (but they say you can
get it from dealers) by another firm called phoenix.
