94meg/cartridge
Its a cool little removable harddrive using SCSI or IDE - very cheap
(compared to competition) and not a slouch speed wise either.
If you want to read a review on them, have a look at July edition of ACAR
(Australian Commodore and Amiga Review - yes thats right AMIGA). It also
lists a couple of places that sell it (if any in stock).
hope that helps
