Commodore NZ are an interesting bunch, they have 2015 and 3015 1.44Mb
3.5" Disk Drives available for the Amiga (I presume that the 20/30 is
for the 2000 series and 3000 series). I'm not sure if they actually
have them yet, but they've got them yet. Their accounting system
requires that if they order something, it must exist in the system
first (which means when they export all their stuff to a dealer price
list, interesting things creep in :-) ).
