What I dont understand all this fuss about delays.  What is delayed,
the shipping of drives or
the shipping of the media? Logic says only the first, isnt it?

Then why don't you guys go and buy a cheap PC CD-ROM around the corner?
A friend of mine did that in Argentina, 10000 miles away from the
nearest NeXT representative, and got it working in 5 minutes after
changing the scsi id and a few more parameters.

Is there anything special about the next drives? (appart from being
black I mean).

Just curious.

Ores.
