- Yeap. I think the idea works, but need a bit more engineering to make
- it reliable and easy to manufacture. As is, it would require a patch
- in trackdisk for them to work reliably which means you can't boot off
- a HD.

- The guys that did the Dell drive uses the right approach and could
- potentially be mass produced to ship with all (<- IMHO) Amigas. Now if
- they can get that price down and convince that they do have a reliable
- solution.
