Yeah, I've got a spare one that was destined for the Amiga 2000, I just never
find myself using floppies with it. I suspect that has a lot to do with
whdload, but even when I want to install software on it, I just copy it over
the network and use diskette images loaded off of the hard drive, rather than
fooling around with real floppies. I think the reason I never got around to
sticking the Gotek in it is because the whiter beige of the gotek didn't
match the tan beige of the Amiga 2000's front panel.

Yeah, I started the same way with this one and then moved it over to OS/2
because I wanted a network stack that actually supported binkd.
