It's unlikely that IOmeg will do anything specifically for the Amiga market
unless there's evidence of significant demand.

IOmega has already made all the necessary hardware, and SCSI controllers
are available for the Amiga. What's needed is someone in the Amiga
community to write a driver. I'm not up to it... (not you either, Leo, :-)
after "robotroff" I'd be afraid of the unexpected tricks you might throw into
the driver :-)  )
