Darin: Commodore is one *stupid* company. If their pricing was anywhere
near log cal, I would have bought the 3000 *new*. Putting HD drives into
their machines, nd then refusing to admit they're doing it is unbelievably
obtuse.
I will borrow an HD disk from a friend and I'll try to format it to see if
my ma hine will format HD. It was originally a 3000-25/100, the 100 meg HD
was replace
by its previous owner, and a 52Meg Quantum is now in the machine. Perhaps
I may have one of those "ghost" drives, after all!
Of course, the other (slim) possibility is that Commodore doesn't even
*know* th t these drives are capable of HD operation. That would make them
just as obtuse s if they knew about it and didn't admit it. Thanks for the
info.. I'll check my present df0:, and I'll wait and see if C= finally
admits to having HD drives bef re I take the plunge and buy a df1: drive.
