@ hazydave. Please tell me about these.

Please tell me what ever happened to these. Did they actually work or are they just a mock up? Do they still exist? The information on amigahistory.co.uk is somewhat vague. Any technical insights would be really cool  :cool:

I have been drooling over these for over 15 years. Please put it to rest for me

I think these are one of the 2 coolest things ever developed for the Amiga (the other is GVPs harddrive for the A500 which is shaped to fit in with the wedge design).

OK, so why didn't they work well and what could we have done to make it work better? What games didn't work on them? How many times (2x, 4x?) were the drives? How well would they have handled multimedia items like videos and stuff? Did they have any mpeg (hardware?) included to enhance the A1200? :confused:

I'm perfectly happy if this thread goes on for a week with a 100 posts or so. These fascinate me. I love prototypes
