I don't think it was from Sony .. Sony always announced their own HiFD 200 MByte
floppy, but never produced anything of that. Who was it .. not Iomega .. I think
it may have been NEC or Panasonic. But those being offered at 7.5$ instead of
70$ like recently should tell you where they're going.
Anyway, the 120s connect to IDE and only IDE, and contain their own hardware and
microcontroller etc. to read PC floppy formats. No way of making them support
old Amiga formats, not even with Catweasels in between.
