- |FLOPTICAL!!!:
- |
- |Q: It will read normal Amiga disks, Amiga high density disks, IBM disks, and
- | it's 20 meg/disk formats? Right?
- |
- It will read/write IBM 720 and 1.44MB formats the Amiga format cannot
- be accessed at this time. The 20 Mb format works great!
-
- |Q: How fast is it? Normal disk speed? Slower? Faster?
- |
- It is like a slow hard drive(i.e. ST225N), it has a 65ms access time
- and is 3-4 times faster than a floppy. It is 1/3 to 1/2 as fast as
- my hard drive(Quantum). I have mine set with 300 buffers.
- |Q: Where can I get the cheapest one? [that will work on an Amiga]
- I sell them for $270 each, disks are $17, send me e-mail for detailS
- |
- |Q: Can it be made internal on an A3000?
- I have mine in an A2000, and don't know about The A3000, It mounts
- exactly like a standard internal floppy on my system.
- |
- |Q: Anybody out there selling a used one? ;)
- |
- I sell only new ones...
