Can I buy the software for this separately? An outfit called "Side-Effects, Inc." (in Raleigh, NC) has advertised in a couple of AmigaWorlds and in Amazing Computing. Their ad claims they have a memory card called "Side-Store" that is 2 Meg/card with no wait states. Comes with "RAM-disk that survives resets/reboots". ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ They're also advertising Side-ARM ... a 6/12 slot backplane that passes the bus; Side-Track ... an ST-506 compatible Hard Disk controller (with built-in clock); Side-Band ... a MIDI interface; and Side-Port ... a serial, parallel, and SCSI interface. All products are said to provide full Zorro compatibility, auto-config, 6-month warrenty, etc. No prices are given. Anybody had anything to do with these products? Are they vaporware or available? /kim -- UUCP: {sun,decwrl,hplabs,pyramid,ihnp4,seismo,oliveb,cbosgd}!amdahl!kim DDD: 408-746-8462 USPS: Amdahl Corp. M/S 249, 1250 E.
