Nice review. One question. How long does it take to write an 880Kbyte disk? Is it roughly 1/2 the time it takes to write an ADF using an Amiga?

I do so wish that Jens had been able to find the time to partner with SPS and WinUAE authors to get the MK4 doing all the things that were originally promised. Reading and writing copy protected disks. Direct support within WinUAE.

You never know perhaps he'll find the enthusiasm now that Richard Aplin (the guy who made the X-Copy Cyclone) is considering entering the market with an open source USB->FDC called Cyclone 20. It's just early talk at the moment but very impressive work for such a short time.
