I am in the process of getting a second floppy drive for my Amiga
500. A friend of mine has had a MAST Unidrive for his 500 and has
had no problems with it. I notice that MAST has now come out with
a successor to this drive that has additional features (such as
detecting writes to the boot sector), but don't know if this new
version is worth the extra money. Also, Centaur has been advertising
something called "The Silent drive" that does not click when the 
disk is removed. Has anyone had experience (good or bad) with any
of these (or OTHER) drives? I would also like to know of your
experiences with the mail-order firm(s) you bought your drive(s)
from. Please Email replies, unless you think they would be useful
to many other readers of this group. Thank you!
