If you are going to be commercial, at least fully describe the product. I would presume it is a slap on the side something or other that allows you to use IBM hard drive controllers so that one can use an inexpensive IBM hard drive. Is this what it is ? Does it pass the buss properly ? (IE. can I use my 2 meg slap on the side expansion ?) I presume it comes with a proper software driver ? Source would be nice (so it can be tweaked to go faster, etc.) ? How does one of the hard drive systems described in the previous article compare speed-wise for program loading/saving/etc. to the other hard drives available ? (I think a program to check this info is on one of the fish disks .. I remember seeing a whole bunch of stats for other AMIGA hard drives posted a while back). Does anybody out there have one that can give a review ? Since the local dealer has 20 meg hard drives (I forget the make) for around $1500(?) cdn, I would like to know more about The WEDGE. fred CSNet: grwalter@watmath.waterloo.edu UUCP: {ihnp4,decvax,allegra,utzoo}!watmath!grwalter CDNnet: grwalter@watmath.waterloo.cdn ARPA: grwalter%watmath.waterloo.edu@csnet-relay.arpa -- CSNet: grwalter@watmath.waterloo.edu UUCP: {ihnp4,decvax,allegra,utzoo}!watmath!grwalter CDNnet: grwalter@watmath.waterloo.cdn ARPA: grwalter%watmath.waterloo.edu@csnet-relay.arpa
