I have seen a company that advertises in the Computer Shopper. I *think*
it's called Microsense, in La Jolla, CA. They advertise a 20 MB for
the 1400 LT for about $800. Don't know the make.

I was intrigued by an ad i saw recently (Bay Area Computer Currents)
for Toshiba MK-130FA series HDs. 3.5", 53MB!! $445. Does anyone know
if these will work in a 1400 LT. They claim that the drives are compatible
with the standard ST506/412 interface. Is this what the 720K floppies in
the 1400 LT use (somehow I doubt it)?
