Panasonic JU-253 Disk Drive (Very High Quality)


You're kidding (rhetorical question, I know he is not)

The Matu-Shita/Panasonic is the brand of Amiga-drives you MUST avoid at all costs (but afaik the where only build into early A2000/500 and some A1000s).

Chinon is the most common and o.k., my A500 even came with a TEAC (sweet), and the C=-made had an Epson inside which was also o.k.

I only had 1 Matushita in a 2nd hand A2000, and the noise it made was far to much to trust it with any disk (and yes the drive was "o.k", thats just the way they "work").

I even remember a certain piece of HW that allowed you to make "backups" of copy-protected disks being advertised as "works with all Amiga-drives except Matushita".
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else
