At that price it's 6, count them, 6 HHb Portadiscs you could have.
Almost enough for one for each day of the week.

Actually, ORB brought out their disks for general use. But they have
died most everywhere except the Nagra. They were cheap back then.

I remember somewhere that Nagra was developing a hard disk for the
machine. Maybe that's the 40 gig mentioned? I wonder how much that
accessory costs.
