[Coco] Re: FD-502 floppy

[Steve Ostrom]

I ordered one of these new disk drives on 10 February, but never did get 
an e-mail confirmation as promised on the invoice.  I sent them another 
e-mail tonight asking for the status of my order.  If I hear back from 
them, or get the drive, I'll let the list know.  They seem legit, but 
may not have a good handle on their inventory.  Always the optimist!!  
We'll see.
