Oooh-ohhh,
Nice achievement, happy to hear we can buy it, though a little expensive.
I read it through, but was not really clear for me, how far is it compatible with the 5.25" floppy disc files, I mean games, demos?
On the other hand I've never understood, why developers prefer expensive SCSI devices? Well it is nice and smart and fast, but an SCSI controller costs 10x more than an IDE one, and the drive itself usually costs 2x more. So the price difference hits two times.
If it is just a file host system for PRG and SEQ files (FTP...), something cheaper would be better for us, eg. with a Compactflash card. Though it needs some drivers in the Plussy too, but probably even no external power supply needed.

Unfortunately I am not smart and experienced enough to implement it on Plussy.
