C=64/128 collectors dream?
« on: August 21, 2007, 12:35:28 AM »
Here's one for all you 8bit heads.
CMD FD-2000 Disk Drive

Where do they come up with these prices?!? :crazy:
I might have to empty out my closet full of 8-bit stuff. I might be able buy a few cords of firewood for the upcomming winter... :-D

You can still buy them brand new for $189.00.

HA!!!
goto www.cmdrkey.com

and TRY to order one.

Ever since CMD sold out, it's been very hard to get CMD hardware.


MR is a difficult man to reach, last time I tried, and the forums are filled with horror stories of ppl trying to get stuff

I'd love an FD or an HD, but I don't think I can justify shelling out more than a couple clams considering the plethora of 1541-compatible server software for PC and Amiga out there.

very true....
but as an owner of a FD-2000, I can verify that running it on real hardware rocks and using IMPROVED/modern on classic HW, WOW!

It's like a new experience!

MaDDucK is correct.  You can not get new CMD stuff, except for maybe JiffyDOS and even with that you'll need to wait.  
Time to move on.  Bye Amiga.org.  :(

it makes me sad what MR has done!
When I got my stuff from CMD in the day, it took a while, but I never had any worries.

He knows my address, so I can't, but why doesn't anyone here email him and see how long it'll take.

I can't speak for others, but it took ~6 months to get JiffyDOS for my 64C and 2 1571s.  I think Maurice is just over his head.
