#Hi-Density Floppy
Andy:
I can't seem to get any information on the HD floppy drives either. My
dealer says the part # can be ordered, but CBM just backorders them.
I'm guessing here… this doesn't even qualify as rumor… but I have a
feeling that CBM is trying to work with CHINON to develop a HD floppy that
will work at full speed on the Amiga and still work with CROSS-DOS,
FLIPPER, and the regular Amiga format disks. That's the only excuse I can
think of for CBM not giving the go ahead to CHINON to produce the drives
in quantity right now. I do know that it _is_ (currently) a CHINON drive,
that has been modified to CBM specs, and that CBM controls the production
and distribution of it… so you can't just order a CHINON part # and plop
it in to the Amiga.
