HD Drives
I think I'm just going to go with a stock commodore HD drive. The
flopticals are nice but after buying the disk and the drive I could
buy another scsi hard drive to use for backups. I'd just have to live
with a slower disk drive. It seems weird to me why the chip
manufacturers are bringing out 64 bit chips and the like if the
external interfaces (ie: printer/modem/ide) are still 8 bit. Not
even a Cal Trans Project on the 5 freeway can cause such a bottleneck.
You mentioned you work for a dealer, which one, I'm always looking
for more amiga dealers. I was also intersted in your opinion on fan
placement in the 1200. I was thinking about putiing it buy the disk
drive, blowing towards the front(over the csa board-sizzle), or
cutting a hle towards the rear, under the disk drive so the fan will
pull air through, or mounting it on the upper grills so it will pull
air through the top and blow into the system(eliminating dust build
up in the disk drive).
