There appear to be 2 versions of the Chinon 357A
1,76MB floppy drive: The "normal" A4000 one,
and the "flat" version. I have installed the flat
Chinon 1,76MB drive in my A600. Works perfect!
Should also be working with an A1200, but because
I don't own an A1200(not anymore), I'm not sure.

Yup.

FB-357A: Tall drive (later A3000s, early A4000s)

FZ-357A: Normal ('slim') size drive (later A4000s)

That was a subtle hint that it's all for sale but just haven't gotten around to it yet.  By the way, shipping to Chile would cost a pretty bib penny.[/quote]


shipping to chenango forks NY wouldnt be very much :-D

 I seem to remember from an article in some British mag that C= said that it was either 2MB chipmem standard or a HD diskdrive. So C= chose for more RAM.

What? C= made a sensible decision? Where's the 'faints in suprise' smiley when you need one ..
 I remember the original idea was for a 1MB A1200 with the option for another 1MB upgrade in what is now the clockport header, but I didn't know they were thinking of a HD floppy though.
