- I want to install one of those Chinon FB-357A High Density floppy drives
- that can half its rotation speed on my Amiga2000B 6.3 as soon as possible.
- I need it especially for A-MaxII.
-
- 1) Does someone know if this drive will work on an unmodified 2000? How
- does the software recognize the new drive. (Some special ready signal or
- mountlist entry ??)
- Is some additional logics necessary, I don't have the Technical Reference
- for 3000 so I don't know if there are any HW floppy diffs.
-
- 2) Where can I get this drive? I have asked several mail order companies
- that sell Amiga hardware but they don't have it. I have also checked with
- those repairing Amigas but they claim that CBM does not have it as spare
- part yet.
-
- Thanks beforehand
