>> BTW, have you looked at Iomega's new Zip Drive?
I have one sitting right here. It's nice…a gigabyte of storage (on ten
disks) for $150 is pretty hard to beat, especially with the drive's performance
(almost 1MB/sec, while my A4000's IDE drive gets 1.1MB/sec). 🙂
But don't try to use it with a Dataflyer — I had to send mine back in exchange
for an Oktagon, which seems nicer anyway (and it's SCSI-II :).
About the only flaws I can find are that the spindown time is rather short (to
conserve power and media life, I guess) and the lack of a power switch (you
have to unplug it or use a multiplug to cut your whole system's power off at
the same time).

Jim,
I have one on order from MicroWarehouse. I also ordered CrossDOS V6.0
from Safe Harbor to allow me to write files from my bridgeboard onto a
cartridge with MSDOS format. I happened to get an IDE controller for my
bridgeboard so I plan to use the SCSI Zip drive attached to my Amiga 2000HD
with a GVP G-Force 030 (25 MHZ, MMU, FPU) accelerator.
