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 :->. \scott -- Scott Hazen Mueller lll-crg!csustan!smdev 2020 Cheyenne Way #137 -------------- Modesto, CA 95356 | F. - I.
