- Well, if it came to a choice between the SCSI 2 port, and the floppy
- port, I think most would agree that the SCSI 2 port was the way to go. We
- are after all talking about a machine with not a tremendous amount of room
- back there.
- The SCSI 2 port should more than make up for any 'tears' shed by not
- having a external floppy port. So many folks are getting upset about
- having a port that is becoming less and less a standard (the 720K Atari
- floppy) when what thay are getting is a port than can handle a new 1.44, 2.88,
- floptical, and hard drives to boot. And all STANDARDLY available! I think
- its really a small price to pay. (I highly expect Dave Small will have
- a fix to get a GCR working with the Falcons).
