- This is probably a really old question, but I just don't understand
- why IBM (for example) high density drives cannot be somehow hacked
- and used on the Amiga.
-
- We know that adequate driving software can be written, since multi-dos,
- messy-dos and cross-dos all exist.
-
- So what is the big hangup? It seems to me that the ability to use a HD
- IBM drive on the Amiga would be a mini-revolution for Amiga owners...
-
- Just curious...
