- I totally agree with this, and with the idea to put SCSI(2) in all amiga's
- standard. On a regular basis I find I want to add something nifty to my
- a4000 - only to realise that it will require a SCSI connector which I do not
- have.
-
- BTW. Somebody else spoke of giving consumers a choice of Zip or Jazz. That's
- great, but on what would software ship? Don't tell me you think 'both' is an
- acceptable answer...
