It's already in the bag. I haven't got my hands on an M drive, I've just
heard the specs, and estimate that they'll be very, very nice on high-speed
SCSI machines like the Amiga. However, I just don't see the applications
for the Amiga that would require such speed. Sure, loading any data
benefits from speed… but usually you're loading an image from a disc
that needs to be translated anyways, and wouldn't use the through-put, or
you're loading an LZH file of a Fish disk image, and that's not
time-critical. The animation-centered applications haven't surfaced for the
Amiga, other than CDTV titles.
