Item 2.   Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
- ------------------------------------------------

     On February 23, 1998, JTS Corporation (the "Company") sold substantially
all of the assets of the Company's Atari Division, consisting primarily of Atari
home computer games and the intellectual property rights and license agreements
associated with such games (the "Atari Assets"), to HIACXI, Corp. ("HIAC"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Hasbro Interactive, Inc., for $5,000,000 in cash.  
The purchase price was determined based upon arm's-length negotiations between
the Company and HIAC.  The Atari Assets were acquired by the Company in July
1996 when the Company merged with Atari Corporation.  There is no material
relationship between HIAC and the Company, any of its affiliates, any director
or officer of the Company, or any associate of any such director or officer.

     The following unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements give 
effect to the disposition of the Atari Division which was consummated on 
February 23, 1998.  The accompanying pro forma condensed balance sheet as of 
November 2, 1997 assumes that the disposition of the Atari Division by the 
Company took place on November 2, 1997.  The accompanying pro forma condensed 
statements of operations for the year ended February 2, 1997 and the nine 
months ended November 2, 1997 assumes that the disposition took place as of 
the beginning of the periods.  The pro forma condensed statements of 
operations do not include the effect of any nonrecurring charges directly 
attributable to the disposition.  The results are not necessarily indicative 
of what would have occurred had the disposition actually been made at the 
beginning of each of the respective periods presented or of future operations 
of the Company.
