Hi Dan, long time no see.  Good to see you around.

Be aware that AE made 2 versions of the AEHD drive.  A 1.44M
version and a 1.6M version.  For the first one you need a superdrive
controller to use it beyond 800k.  For the 1.6M version you need the
AE driver.  It is also rumored that the 1.6M drive had data corruption
problems.

Does any one know if the 1.6M drive does 1.44 with a Superdrive
Controller?  I do know that the only difference between the two
drives was a firmware change for the FPGA.
