- I am a bit puzzled: the A600 HD seems to be a 30MB SCSI drive,
- which contradicts the discussion in this group (IDE 8bit).
-
- I looked at my cousins new A600 and HDToolBox says that it is a SCSI drive,
- the 'read drive information' gadget is active, and it responds.
- For my A590 whith the orignal drive HDToolBox (same version) says that it is
- a 20MB XT-type drive (IDE 8bit), and the 'read drive information' gadget is
- ghosted.
-
- On top of that, the A600 is really quiet (which is NOT the case for my A590).
- I really think that the A600 is very small for its capabilities (again,
- compared to the A500+A590) the word CUTE comes to my mind. aka the first Mac.
- No flames please.
- The price seems to be expandability. What is this PCMIA port capable of?
- Can i put more than one (credit) card in the slot? where is Zorro II/III.
