I think I heard about this device on the latest 'Vaporware' posting.  Something
about IBM selling a new machine with on inbuilt, compatible to the HD 1.44meg
drives currently avaliable.

WOuld something like this be usable on the amiga?  I had heard about the AE
1.76meg 3.5" for the amiga (or was it 1.44 meg :))

Anyone got any ideas?

Would it be viable to use one of these drives ie. cost of HD disks versus the
~3meg of storage?

Any ideas on price of such a drive and avaliablity?

Doug.

PS: I am sick of not having a HD and still trying to play NetHack with only
    2 3.5"'s.  It would be nice to have NetHack on one disk!!!
