Gave C. Ltd. a call the other day and got some updated information on the
status of their new hard drive controller. The Amiga 2000 version should be
released soon - can't remember any dates, but within a week or so seems like
a good guesstimation. However, the Amiga 1000 version (didn't ask about the
500) will be around a lot later - somewhere around 4 weeks, or late April.
On a technical note, they are not DMA. Supposedly, the 2000 version is
faster than DMA (???), and the 1000 almost as fast. They will also auto-boot
off of a FFS partition, so no small old-file-system partition is needed.
I think that's everything. I hate waiting...;)
