I'd be surprised if that was the case, it takes just as long (or actually longer) to get a classic singlefloppy 1/0. Of course, mac may just be doing that so they can sell more classic 2/40's. I have a conner cp3040a from an si package I bought that I am putting into a classic when it arrives. Is this the same as what is currently in mac classics? My dealer is going to sell me some "special" brackets I believe, right now I'm slightly skeptical.
