I believe that the majority of hardware add-ons sold for the Amiga are disk controllers and drives. If you take that away what will the developers have to sell as they develop more interesting products?" I really don't understand this attitude. This would be great for hardware developers! Sure, you wouldn't get much business in the SCSI-add-in arena, but think of how cheaper it would be to get a HD! 500 owners, like Macs do now, will have HDs more often. Think of how many Amiga users do/don't have them because they'd have to get a controller too and that's major bucks.
