I must have a SGC in disguise ^_^ - my GCs have always handled ED disks - when I purchased my GC (Nov 1991), I got a dual ED drive with it (originally ordered a dual HD drive, but got letter back saying no longer supplied, but ED were the standard now and did I still want to order) and a box of 10 ED disks - still not completely used up! (at 3.2M per disk, that's roughly equivalent to a 30M HD ^_^). Perhaps the most worrying thing about the purchase of the GC + ED drives + Disks is that for roughly the same price today I purchased a Turion64x2 1.6GHz Notebook with 80G HD! But then again, as power has increased prices have fallen; and the QL still holds its own for certain things. > 2.
