Have talked to Atari at the Hannover fair and to my dealer, and
they told me..

for Germany: the hard disk (~20 MB) will be delivered in June
(his year, i hope :-) ), it will cost ~2000 DM (~830 US$). I have
been told that the drive is very fast, but I couldn't check it
myself.

I have seen some at Hannover. There were drives from ~20MB up to
~80MB, pricing from ~2300DM to ~4500 DM, but I can't remember
the company.
