I got it from a place called Computer Video Associates in Pinellas Park, Fla. Their phone # is 813-576-5242. They did say it was 'their last one' but they might be getting more. They took my VISA #, shipped it that day, and I got it 2nd day UPS. I am now in Floppy heaven :^) It works GREAT under WB2.04 (though you should get HDFIX.lha – a system patch that fixes bugs with QuarterBack tools and others). 1.7MB when using FFS on the floppies (no bugs yet with swapping FFS floppies either?!?). It works GREAT with my AMAXII+ card too! It reads, writes, and formats mac HD floppies just fine. I stuck a blank HD floppy (or so I thought) in the drive, and waited to be prompted for formatting. Imagine my surprise when an INIT kicked in and the floppy showed up as a formatted HD IBM PC Floppy on the AMAX desktop – WOW! Now, to find a util for the Amiga which reads HD IBM PC Floppies. BTW, check out my previous messages for tips (I guess you could call them that :^) on installing in an old A3000. Keep On Toastin' Erik Flom
