If you do want to go for high density...  You will need a disk controller that
can handle it, and the only one I'm aware of is a part of Owl-Ware's hard disk
system.  That system will not work with Disk BASIC so if you use DECB at all
you would have to either give it up or swap controllers.  If you are interested
in GCS, you can find ads for it in Rainbow.  It costs $44.95 std/$54.95MV.  You
can also order the required SDISK3 from GCS for about $30 or direct from DP
Johnson.  You can write to GCS; they'll send you copies of Rainbow reviews and
such.  For my occasional MS-DOS work, the PCDos I downloaded is fine.  But I
think GCS is better if you intend to do a lot of transferring.  I'd recommend
using a RAMdisk (which must be as big as the biggest file you want to transfer)
but any TWO disk drives will work fine.
