-
- If you have the currently unsupported 1/2 speed HD disk drive in your Amiga
- 3000 then (under 2.0.4) you can format a HD drive out to 1.76 MB. If under
- 2.0.4 you can only format an HD disk to 880 KB then you don't have the drive.
-
- Commodore has not announced that this drive is a product and they may change
- the specifications for this unit, so not having one may not be so bad.
