There's a place in Marion, IN, called "Computer Corner" (gave the business
card to a friend of mine, else I'd post the phone number), which received
several XF551 drives about a month and a half ago.  They may or may not have
any left, but that's beside the point: I saw 'em with these own eyes, and 
touched 'em with the very fingers I'm using to type this.  They're real.
This batch, at least, shipped with a copy of, I believe, DOS 2.5.  I'm 
not entirely sure; write to my buddy 'aegnor' at this node (see .signature,
below), as he usually keeps better track of that stuff.  Same goes for pricing
info; ask HIM!
