As I reported, I dragged the Xebec back to the dealer (plug: Winners
Circle Systems in Berkeley), who's giving me full credit for it
towards the C-Ltd system. I told him about the new drives, so he
called and checked.

Yes, C-Ltd is selling something newer than what he had in stock. Other
than the previously mentioned extra speed & more SCSI features, it's
supposed to have been repackaged into something that looks nice.

The old drives the dealer had were in packaging that looked like the
kind of things we would throw togethor for one-shot field test. Just
bend the metal into the right shape, spray it, and don't worry about
sealing all the edges, or even if they didn't quite meet each other.
There were gaps along the edges of the controller card & the disk
drive card; both of which were Amiga-tan sheet metal.

I'm still waiting for C-Ltd to get the new drives to me, so I don't
know how they look. Could someone who's gotten a C-Ltd drive recently
(Tom?) comment on that?
