Apart from the Mac drives, I've got one other drive which is not all that bog-
standard. It's the HD drive in my Amiga 4000, which has been factory modified
to run at a slower speed when encountering a HD disk, so as not to saturate
the Paula chip. It's a shame that Commodore decided to change the drive
instead of the controller.

Nope, that's not it.

Some VAXes used a small Centronics connector as well, but it's not the same
kind, either. =)
