So far I have had no answers. I just had an idea, and so I have a more specific question: The ATR 8000 (by SWP) allows interfacing to off the shelf 5&1/4 and 8 inch disks. Does it also allow interfacing to hard disks? If so, which interface? SCSI would be nice because there is a Bernoulli Box which uses SCSI..... Thanks for any info, -Richard Hartman max.hartman@ames-vmsb P.S.: Does anyone know if SWP is still around & functioning? ------ The ATR8000 doesn't handle hard disks. However, they have a newer model called the ATR8500 which does. I think you give up the ability to use eight inch diskette drives.
