What makes the Indus GT drive so expensive...
AX_Master replied to Scooter83's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
I had two Indus GT disk drives in the 1980s. They were really great. I did a lot of research before I bought a disk drive because they were expensive and I was in elementary school. As I recall the first one we bought was $400 in 1983. Prior to that we had an Atari 400 with a 410 recorder and we upgraded to an 800XL and Indus GT. I got a second one around 1986. it was a very fast disk drive for the time. It was a beautiful and nice piece of equipment. I liked that it supported all three densities: single, medium, and double. I used DOS XL and Atari DOS with it. I used to buy single sided floppies and notch them with a single hole punch so that I could use them double sided. They were nicest one on the market in the 80s and much less common than an Atari 810 or 1050, so I am not surprised they are expensive for collectors.
