- The Chinon drive was the FZ-357A. I have one Installed in my A1200. Never
- had had any problems with it. Works great on Reading/Writing whatever on
- Amiga, Mac, and IBM High Density Disks. Do it all the time. Much better then
- them DELL drives, but there pretty hard to come by, and more Expensive if you
- can even find one. I bought mine from a Amiga Dealer a few years back for
- around $180.
