Mike, I don't know all the details about Flopticals, but you can use either double-sided, double-density disks, or double-sided, high-density disks. The DS-DD are the same ones you currently use with the Amiga. However, I would be very wary about buying a drive from TTR. I'm currently having a problem with them about a tape backup system I bought from them in 11/91. It still doesn't work and I paid over $1,000 for it. They unequivocally have the WORST support of any hardware vendor I've dealt with. I receive better support for a $39 piece of software. There's a good chance that if you buy a floptical drive from TTR that it won't work and you'll spend months calling them trying to get a fix. Dom Fontana
