OK... I have gotten some E-Mail asking about the AE 1.52 Meg Drive, here
is some info...

To install the drive all you do is plug it in just like any other Amiga drive
then copy the AETD.Device from the provided disk to your DEVS: dir. Edit
your mountlist to include the provided mountlist, then mount the device.

Poof! Instant 1.52 Meg drive!

Basicly, you treat it like a mini HD. It has a nice long cord on it, passes
the floppy bus, is VERY well put together... and of course can read regular
Amiga disks. Oh, it has a FULL one year warranty!

So far I am pleased! Oooo... almost forgot... one thing that is neat... it has
ONE LED on front. Green means READ, RED means WRITE and OFF means OFF! :)

Thats nice because you can see just what the drive is doing. Another neat
thing is that it will not let you eject a disk until the drive is done with
it! You can bang on the eject push button ALL you want... but the drive is
smart and will NOT eject the disk until the drive is FULLY finished writing!

As you can tell, I LIKE this drive. I also want to point out I am in NO
way connected to this company... other than a satisfied customer.
