How is THAT possible?
I still have my C128 from my childhood, and it got a good friend, the 1541 ultimate II from me.
That is an FPGA based extension, that can emulate two floppy drives, a REU, Cartridges, EZFlash, ......
Great device!

I never had an Amiga, but bought one a few years back.
An Amiga 1200 with a memory expansion and a 8GB compact flash card.
Nice computer.

 WV> Bye, Wilfred.

CU, Ricsi
