From: Louis A. Mamakos <louie@trantor.UMD.EDU> Does anyone have a hard disk running on their Amiga? I'm soon to be in the market for one. The Tecmar disk seem both overpriced and a poor performer. I was thinking of the stuff from Micro Forge. That would give me an expansion bus too. Flipping these floppies is for the birds. Louis A.

Hello fellow Amiga enthusiasts. This is my first time posting to this newsgroup. I've had my Amiga since May. I love it. I do wish there were reasonably priced, good hard disks available. I'd appreciate any information on hard disks that anyone might have. As far as I know the only hard disk available are vaporware. Marnix A. van Ammers --

This unit is in production now and should be shipping the second week of August. I have used the disk and the system and it is unbelievably fast. The speed with a standard SeaGate ST-225 is about seven times the speed of the floppies. If you allocate more buffers or use a faster access disk (the ST-225 is 85msec) it is even faster. This product is stunning, not vaporware but still caught in production. You should see InfoMinder run on it !!! :-) Jim Becker Terrapin Software (Maker of InfoMinder)
