- I have a DMI distribution of the Insight drive. It is very versatile and has
- many different modes. The std mode is 20meg of Amigados formatted disk. It can
- also format in MS-DOS mode using Cross-Dos or Messy-DOS and give a 20meg MS-Dos
- compatable disk. It can be used to read and write 1.44 meg HD 3.5 MS-DOS disks
- or a similar size AmigaDOS disk using the high density media. It can be used as
- a Fixed Disk (C:) using an IBM emulator.
