		for reliability and functionality."
	Versafloppy II
		The old board (< '82) does not conform strictly to 696 standards.
		The new board does conform(?).
		The format used is nonstandard.


Godbout:
		"I have been using ... 2 years ... without any trouble ..."
	Disk 1
		This has the capability to run both 5" and 8" in combination.
		Can do DMA(?).
