- portable......maybe
-
- Durable....not in my experience. i have both drives, one on a Amiga/Mac
- shared, and one on Amiga in another room, the EZ carts are tougher, and
- the read-write is noticeable faster. Only problem is, the GVP formatting
- software would not recognize the drive, and neither would HD toolbox. I
- had to get shareware formatting software off aminet to partition the EZ,
- and now Crossmac is easily recognized on both amiga and mac. Like having a
- 128.5 meg floppy.
- DONT BE MISLEAD......THE EXTRA 25 MEGS OF SPACE DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!
