- Better solution: just buy a floptical drive. MacZone sells them for the
- Mac for $400 now. This would have been even more workable if Commodore had
- put SCSI into the A4000; buying a SCSI II card just to use a floptical drive
- would be overkill. But there are enough SCSI cards for the A500, and SCSI
- cards should start becoming available for the A600 and A1200 soon.
