- I had a bad experience with an AE HD drive recently. I bought it from
- Copperhead Technologies (mail order) mistakingly thinking that they'd send
- me a REAL HD floppy drive. DUMB! One thing about used hardware dealers is
- that they feed on one's misconception. Sure, the AE was a HD floppy drive,
- but it only works under ADos 1.3 AND writes some wierd format to the disk
- so that you can't read IBM HD floppies. All in all it was a waste of money
- and I'm still pissed at Copperhead technologies!!!

- There, I've vented...
