- Not the same thing. The original question was whether a drive from a
- Dell laptop would work - that's an entirely different animal than
- the Dell Amiga drive. I don't even know if they're the same "Dell" -
- I'd guess that they aren't.

- Not really likely any time soon, unless the HD drives or CD-ROM drives
- are made standard on all new Amigas from AT. Even then, figure a few
- years for the changes to trickle down - it took a few years for PC
- software to shift from the old 720K 5-1/4" format to the PC's HD
- format, even when the high density drives were standard on all new
- machines.
