I am really starting to get fed up with my purchase of ASDGs products. Not, that there is anything wrong with the hardware; its just the lack of hardware that bothers me. Back in the beginning of Summer I researched on what would be my best expansion route. I looked at Supra, Cltd, and ASDG. I talked to one of the ASDG salesmen to sell me on ASDG's products. He promised me a system comparable to the now discontinued PAL Jr. for the same price, but with ASDGs reputation for rock solid quality. So far I've spent $600 for 2 Megs which I am reasonably happy with, but there is one darn thing that is bothering me more and more. I still have no hard disk drive. I am willing to spend as much as $1500 for a 20 Meg hard disk at this moment. The problem is that I have the mini-rack C preventing me from expanding further. And more and more I am beginning to regret that I ever listened to that salesmans promise "SDP will be out in September, definitely, sorry SDP will be out in November, no make that December" C Perry, what's going on there? Around September I had two or three club members sold on the ASDG line. Now they all have 2 Meg Supras with 20 Meg hard disks. I have WordPerfect, Pagesetter, Scribble!, Diga! and Aegis Draw Plus all screaming for a hard disk. What do I do? Wilson Cheung

Wilson - Perry isn't on the net right now, so I'll try and give you an answer on the status of the SDP. Yes, it has been delayed some. We really were expecting to have it out in September/October time frame, but we hit a (non-technical) snag and unfortunately it has been pushed back to early 1988. I understand that the wait is painful, believe me (I'm waiting for mine as well). We still promise you that the SDP will be the premier disk controller for the Amiga; I only hope that you can hold out for a few more months. I will keep the net posted on it's progress.
