I noticed you were talking about CBM's High Density drives. I'm not sure of this info, but here's what I heard about them… Some of the A3000's shipped with HD foppies, but *these* early floppys were unreliable. They were rated as "DSDD" only, and not all them could be used as HiD drives (in any configuration). Also, the 2.04 trackdisk.device has a bug, that prevents the HiD from working if chained behind a normal "DSDD" drive. The 2.1 Setpatch fixes this problem. The HiD drives now being used, are probably a newer batch that work reliably with 3.0 or 2.1. I believe CBM has an "A2015" HiD drive for the A2000, and an "A3015" for the A3000, BUT I don;t believe they have been released (or are shipping.) Ron. – ap'ing with AP.
