James,
I've had a quick look at Commodore's mailbox in Frankfurt. Apparantly what
you need is:
– a Commodore A2015, A3015, or A4015 drive (depending on what machine to
shove it into…). This is a CHINON model FB 357A so you might not need to
try and get one directly from C=… This was said to cost about DM 250
(which is roughly US$ 160).
– Kickstart/Workbench >= v2.04 (2.04, 2.05, 2.1, 3.0).
– a program called 'HD-FIXER' (available on some Fish disk) which
addresses an error in Kickstart so you can use this drive.
I didn't inquire about availability of these drives yet, or whether C='s
are modified in any way (except for the front), or whether they run on the
normal A2000/3000 floppy bus.
BTW, a Frankfurt dealer has an ad out with 'Kickstart/Workbench 3.0 for
all! Board with ROM for DM 99 (abouth US$ 60).
