Actually, HD drives don't do ED, but the BIOSes support ED drives. I've seen the floppies, and the drives.. Mostly on IBM machines. My guess is that they were just too expensive.. The magnetic coating differs greatly to the one used in HD or DD disks, which is the cause for the higher price I believe. -- CBM, PEZ, and TI-calc nut, Scout, Glider pilot, Helpdesk-person Email: vjo...@sci.fi, URL: http://www.sci.fi/~vjouppi/ GSM: +358-40-5679999, IRCNet: Jope "I see", said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw.
