- Not too likely, IMHO. I'm using the EZ135 for a while now on
- my GVP-controller and despite some rough treatment, including
- dropping the disk off a floppy disk box, I've noticed no
- problems so far. And it is relatively fast.
-
- No Amiga software though, so I used RDPrep (nice work, people) and was
- running in no-time.
