	C Ltd. has announced its "Removable Media 10.5 Megabyte disk
drive."  It is designed for ALL Amiga computers.  I quote here from the
advertisement they sent me:

5.25 inch half height drive manufactured by Konica.
10.5 megabytes formatted capacity.
Average access time is 75 milliseconds (their hard drive is 65 milliseconds).
Uses standard 5.25 inch quad density (IBM PC/AT type) floppy disks,
 specially formatted and certified.
Reads standard IBM/AT 1.2 megatype and IBM/PC/XT 360K formatted floppy
 disks.
Transfers 10MB of data in less than 3 minutes, using the standard
 Amiga "diskcopy" command.
Uses 48 bit ECC (error correction).

The complete system for the Amiga 500 & 1000 lists for $1049.95, and
includes case, power supply, and SCSI host/controller.

For the Amiga 2000, it's $899.95 and mounts internally in the 5.25
inch disk drive bay.

If you already have their SCSI controller, it's $899.95 for drive,
case, and power supply.

I have NO affiliation with C Ltd., not even as a customer.  I'm just
quoting from the literature they sent me on request.

C Ltd., 723 East Skinner, Wichita, Kansas, 67211.  (316) 267-6321
