That's cool. A little bit like a choice between an Atari ST
and booting it from ROM vice other machines that boot from disk.

No, they shipped in black plastic cases, somewhat like the
cases some drills and such come in and are stored in. A friend of
mine used to use his case for disk storage....you could fit quite a
lot of disks inside of it!

Yes, the Atari version is the same way. I always liked
sitting there listening to it seek and read while watching the
display count down the tracks.
