Fortunately, I got it used, for free. The original owner, Ohio State,
paid $1,000 for it with a 20MB drive. They threw it out in disgust,
as I recall, after losing another ST506 mech (not ST225, some other
brand) that wasn't even the original - _it_ was a replacement from
what shipped from C Ltd.
I remember being "happy" that at the same time, I used an XT controller
(Everex WX-clone) with a Canadian 8-bit ISA adapter that only cost me
$500 end-to-end for 20MB. When I got a UUCP feed (kumiss.UUCP), I had
to add another ST225 to hold my mail spool.
The "WEDGE" and WX-1 were eventually replaced by a Starboard/Stardrive.
Still have them. Would use them again if I wanted to fire up my
(Rejuvinated) A1000.

C Ltd was an early casualty in the Amiga
marketplace.

I had one too. I came with an Amiga 1000. I got it working a couple of
times. I sold it last spring with the A1000
