- You can't use a standard clone floppy drive on the Amiga. I don't
- know exactly what the differance is but they are differant. If they
- were the same Amiga Tech wouldn't have had any problems finding HD
- floppies for the A4000T. Why do you think it shipped with DD
- floppies? If you want a HD floppy in your A2000 you need to aquire an
- A3000 replacement drive & swap the front bezel with your old chinon.
- You do need WB2.0+ HD floppies were not supported under older
- versions of WB.
