- Eh? The Amiga 4000T comes standard with a SCSI-II controller on the mother

- And IDE is cheap. I think it wasn't such a bad idea for A1200, but A4000T
- definately needs SCSI... (which it has)

- External IDE _connector_. It will have the internal connector for hard drives.
- I think an external IDE conector is a great idea for easy connection of

- : ala). And a 68030. At 16 MHz? *Without* MMU? Undoubtedly...

- Without MMU I would believe, they need to get the price low, but the 68030
- is supposed to be running at 40 MHz - definately not at 16 MHz...
