A couple of weeks ago I asked for sources to SCSI based floppies.
Here is what I have turned up.
Manufacturers: TEAC
NCR
Dealers......: Tulin
Arrow
Traxx
MacWarehouse
PLI
Digital Instrumentation Inc.
Apparently DEC & SUN also use SCSI based floppies on some models.
Here's the details.

PS.
If anybody has any info on other SCSI based drives, please send me
a reference.
Disclaimer: I have not used any of this stuff yet. I am just looking
for an easy way to put 2.88Meg drives on my Amiga.
