	I spoke with a representative from Supra yesterday.  One of
their parts suppliers has just gone out of business, so an essential
ingredient in their 30-meg hard drives is now missing.  (I think it
has something to do with the controller.)

	As a result, they have halted shipment on their 30-meg drives
TEMPORARILY.  They expect to find a new supplier "within a few weeks".
Their 20-meg and 60-meg drives are still being shipped as usual.

	A related note... the 2-meg RAM expansion that can be installed
inside the drive will be ready in "60 to 90 days".  They have not yet 
begun development on the 4-meg RAM expansion (even though it has been
advertised for months...).

	I have no connection with Supra.
