Phil, The Kronos may still be available. Although CLtd is out of business, I understand the Expansion Technologies will now distribute their products and that Breck Ricketts has started a new company, Ricketts, Inc., in Wichita to continue product development. There was a short on this in April AmigaWorld in the last few pages of the mag. It also listed an address for a Wichita company, B&B Electronics, which will handle repairs and service. If you want to use the Konica, then you need to think about the Supra controller as well. The Supra will definitely handle the Konica drive. They list it as one of the drives the Supra has been tested with. The new 16 bit WordSync is supposed to be pretty fast. I talked with several people at GVP about their SCSI/8 board and was told that unless you got special EPROMs it would not handle removable media drives. They only seem to guarantee support of the Syquest drive and when I asked about Konica they told me NO. I don't know if they were ill-informed or what, but that's straight from a GVP tech support person, so I would stay away from GVP if you keep that Konica. If you want to avoid potential concerns over CLtd products, then I would give serious thought to the Supra product. Steve
