Charles, could you take not of a mistake that was reported in your last AM-Report v1.18 regarding Hign Density Floppy drives: It was mentionned that the machine (A3000) that had 2MB drives was bought 8 or 9 months ago… this is not correct; the machine was bought only 3 weeks ago and but the way, please note that since then we received 2 more A3000 with High density drives in it. By the way, keep on your nice on-line magazine! It's nice to read it! Pat – via Whap!

Hmmm…I thought that sounded funny. I must've got th poster mixed up as I reread that thread three times to make sure I was reading it right. Obviously reading it once or one thousand times doesn't make a difference if it's 3 am and the caffene supply is running low! Thanks, and do you have a part number on the drive? I'd like to order one for my A3000… Another question in general…are the drives normal PC-type high density drives? Will a PC drive connected in there work as a high density Amiga drive? Is it software activation or just a tuned-up trackdisk.device that recognizes the second write-protect notch? -Chas

Pat, How about reading the model number on the 2mb drive in one of those A3000s and posting it here. Please, please, please. Wouldn't happen to be a Chinon FB357A? I sure would like to know. Knowbuddy (sp) at Commodore seems be helpful on this subject. I assume you are a dealer. ….Mark 74335,1677
