It will be put out by Central Coast Software, the people who make Dos-2-Dos. I called CCS up last month, and found that they're aiming for June release. The product will require the purchase of a Mac-compatible disk drive, but they will have software available so that you can use this drive as a regular Amiga drive. A guesstimated price (list) for the whole shebang (including Mac disk drive) was around $350. That's about all I know; for more info, contact: Central Coast Software 424 Vista Avenue, Golden, CO 80401, USA Phone (303) 526-1030 Hope this helps. ___________________________________________________________________________ -- John W.
