Hello,

out of curiosity: Do you remember floppy drives on the AS/400? Were these SCSI drives? How were the drives different from, say, drives found on CP/M machines of that era? Information I found in the CISC system builder weren't too much helpful.

Any comments are well-appreciated. Thanks!

:wq! PoC
