Was it the hardware boys or was it the marketing types
who said,
"Don't put that in. It will steal sales from the higher commission
and higher priced xxx machine."
I'm sure it was a marketing issue.
I can't believe hardware guys were responsible for
single sided RX180
drives and the really lousy RX50's.
Hindsight is something, isn't it... Not that I know any better, but
what else was there *at the time the design was made*?
