- Yes, in their PowerWave systems, BUT:
-
- * The systems are all fairly high end. They start at $1699.
-
- * They are options.

- If AT were to build in the Zip in EVERY Amiga - it would guarantee the
- media as far as software development. Zip would be a great lead for the
- Amiga to take *as* a lowest common denominator device.
-
- Since it *can* take the place of a hard drive in low end systems, it
- would also solve that problem for only about $100 compared to whatever
- they would be paying for a hard drive (if they were also replacing the
- floppy).
