2570.0. "/// looking for a 5 1/4" disk \\\" by NWD002::FREEMANRO (FIREWALKER) Wed May 17 1989 16:15

    
    Question....is a 5.25 inch disk still made for the Amiga 1000? I'm
    not sure what it's proper designation is and would like to add one
    to mine.  What is the price range that I'll be looking at?  And
    how reliable are they?  Thanks.

     	It's called the 1020.  No, I don't think that they are still
    making it.
       
>      What is the price range that I'll be looking at?  And
    You'll have to try to find one used or find someone who can make
    the circut and extra other thingies to turn a regular 5 1/4 drive
    into one the amiga can use

    I've never had any problems with mine, and it's been used daily
    for about 2 years now!

    As for the price range, a store cleared the 5 last 5.25" 1020 they
    had for CDN$25.00 (about $20.00). (Yes that's cheap) .  Brand new
    drive from Comodore with warranty cards etc...
    
    Quite reliable, so far.  Good luck to find some more!
