	I can't remember the company who advertised that, but, after looking
at the fine print, I found out that it'll only run AmigaDOS stuff with extra
software.  This means the AmigaDOS side of it is only good for about 1/2
of the things you'd want to do with it.  If there is another drive that
does not require additional software, please let me (everyone) know....
