OK ! Where did you get the drives for $100 !!
Hackers like me are just dying to find the raw drives and wire them in.
I've been pouring over all the ads in byte and other mags. looking for
someone who sells the drives raw. At least...tell me the manufacturer
and the drive ID numbers so at least I can identify the right drive
without opening my Amiga to find out.
This information is VITAL to us students here at MIT ! We love our
amigas and are in dire need of the a cheaper expansion path.

We wait with bitted breath....
