Subj: REPLY TO MSG #5148 (DISK DRIVES)

Sparcom 897 NW Grant Ave. Corvallis OR  97330

  The "drive95" lists for $330 and sells for $285 in the Educalc catalog.
"designed for remote operation, this dirve has an intelligent cache which
extends battery life up to 15 hours on a single charge.  Compact (7.25x5.25x2")
....  the drive also interfaces with the HP48..   or any DOS-based palmtop,
laptop or desktop computer, and supports 720k and 1.44mb capacity 3.5" disks."
  
  I have a sale flier direct from Sparcom which has a "Steve's Specials" offer
of $179.95 for the drive95.  There is also a "drive100" for the HP100LX
palmtop, but I think the difference is only in the cable and perhaps in the
driver software.
  
 I'm interested to know what you find out!
