- Hmm Why indeed would you want to purchase another CMD hard drive when all
- you had to do was to put a larger HD in the case. Well in my "case" I am
- running out of drives that I can attach to the CMD. I would also like to
- have the Third CMD drive because I could chain even more extra super large
- scsi drives to it and have a bbs with "billions and billions" of bytes of
- storage available. :) And lastly, because I respect what Creative Micro
- Designs (CMD) has done to keep interesting things available for the
- Commodore 8 bit machines. Were it not for CMD there would be very few
- indeed that still played with the Commodore 64 and 128's. They are one
- company in all of Commodore land that deserves EVERY hacker, user, sysop
- etc's respect. You might be trying to save a dime, thinking that they are
- making big bucks or something, but you go and look at what you get. You
- always get what you pay for, no matter what.
