- People may not know this on the net, but this was an obvious realization
- for me whe reading grapevine's ad. When you buy an A600 (non-HD version)
- your rom chip doesn't support the built-in IDE controller. You have to
- buy a new Kickstart chip to enable this (or so the local dealer I know
- says). Anyway, it's quite obvious the target market from Grapevine there.
-
- Also, who knows it might have some type of updating to support the HD
- floppies a little better (although extremely doubtful). Get_TDGeometry
- has been around for a long time, in documentation at least..
