- Chinon made AFAIK the drives for the C= A4000's. These drives would be a
- adequate solution, but a not manufactured any more. AFAIK AT tried to get
- those drives again for the A4000 (maybe A1200 too), but they did not get any.

- On the high end side of the Amigas the HD drives are not such a problem,
- I think. People needing much diskspace a limited with 1.74MB too much,
- they will use DAT or some SCSI exchange media. And SCSI is standard on
- the AT A4000Ts, much more important than HD drives, at least for me.
