  22.  In one of Lew Eggbrecht's(VP of Engineering or something like that)
  23. famous C= world of Amiga speeches he also mentioned the possiblity of a
  24. CD32 CPU exapasion with an 030 or 040. I'm not surprised we havent seen
  25. any of these. The sx-1 was popular enough so that a floppy interace
  26. probably will never see the light of day, I'm still waiting for an
  27. accelarator.  While we're on the subject of floppies, has anyone tried
  28. the Dell High Density floppy with the SX-1. Does it wotk?
