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). // Chris coming in from Germany \X/ on AutoPilot 1.051……….
