I have heard from 2 or 3 different places that Commodore has plans to be one of the first companies to purchase large quantities of the Insite drive for use in their products. The most recent rumour was in a magazine that, as I recall, wasn't even Amiga oriented- like Infoworld or something like that. I sure hope that gesture of yours at Comdex was instrumental in getting this product into the Amiga! What a happy world it would be if this kind of thing happened often...
