	No.  The drives run at a higher data rate (They're really 2MB
	unformatted; current Amiga drives and 760K IBM drives are 1 MB
	unformatted).  The current Paula cannot handle 2MB floppies
	(unless you run them at 150 RPM :-( ).

>2.	Will the 2500UX have a tape drive available?  What kind?  Media size?

	Yes.  I don't know what kind.
