- Yeap. A Dell high density floppy costs $100. For another $100 more, you
- get a 70X increase in storage and speed. I would rather have it as the
- hard drive shipped with the machine though. I can get better bargins
- with my clone shop for hard driver prices than any of the Amiga dealers.
- I bought a 1 gig SCSI drive last week for $215 NEW.

-
- The Zip is big enough that it would be used as a HD until you can affort
- a real HD in the lower end. Once you get that HD, the ZIP becomes a
- backup device.
