Steven –
I don't have either of those sysyems on my A2000, but the Supra 10-meg
floppy on my ST uses the Konica mechanism. I use it to do backups. I've had it
for several months, now, and no problems yet. It's not as fast as a HD (it runs
about 80ms access time) but is much faster than a floppy. The cost for the
drive that plugs into the back of the ST (case, PS, all cards and one 10-meg
floppy) was $849 mail order. The disks (at least as of a few months ago) can be
had for $25-$27 each in quantity (I think it was 10 disks).
Hope this helps somewhat.
