Summary: Just an idea to throw out...

I'd like to throw out to the net an idea I had last night:

   Is it possible to hook an PClone hard drive to the Amiga external
drive port?  To my mind, all it would take is one drive w/controller
(~300-400$), a box with a power supply ($100?) and a custom cable to
go from the card-edge connector on the controller to the Amiga port.

Total system cost:  about $500 for 10 or 20 megs.  It sounds too good
to be true --- where did I go wrong?  If it can be done, I volunteer
to be a test site :->.
