So for those of us that currently have 100+ MB drives (just as a guess, how
many people that own Amiga's have 100+ MB drives?  I am strongly considering
moving up to the 500+ MB drive from Maxtor) could we hope to have something
like this?  The only thing I like about A/UX is its ability to run Apple apps
underneath it (I sure don't like it for its "industry standard O/S" claims that
the marketers at FOSE keep talking about.
