Mixed reactions.
As mentioned before: there were no HD-floppys in 1985.
So this was not something, that was done wrong by Amiga or Commodore.

And Amiga hat no support for "Single Density" but "Double Density" from the very beginning.

True, they should have upgraded to HD support with ECS or at least with AGA.
Or build in at least the slow HD drives with halve speed, like the did in the A3000 - at least in every A2000 since it was overpriced already...
