AEHD drives available (was: Re: AEHD drive)

[louiss@gate.net (Louis Schulman)]

For anyone wanting the 1.6 meg format on a GS, I have two AEHD drives in excellent condition
which I will happily sell or trade for a reasonable offer, either for both or separately.

I have a //e, and I found that real SuperDrives worked better with the SuperDrive card than the
AEHDs, but it sounds like the AEHDs are a must for 1.6 on a GS.

I also have the 1.6 driver, which I just downloaded from Ground.
