So true, I was very surprised by the use of custom floppy drives (DD's of all types) and it took them forever to support hard drives on a larger scale. Most games released could not even be installed on a hard drive and made use of custom boot loaders. What a pity because the Amiga OS was years ahead of anything else, even Mac in my opinion, a true multitasking OS.
