All this talk of hard drives has started me thinking (a dangerous mode :).

I bought an A500 in feburary, and I'm already thinking of a 20Meg hard
drive. I know about the limitations on power, and the unexpandability (via 
an internal card) without going to an expansion box.

What have you in net-land done to connect hard-drives to your A500? I prefer
the "open the box and get it running" instead of the "just connect this
wire to this pin and ... " type of system. I would like prices, and
experiences with service (manufacturer and distributers) if you can.

As a side note, I saw that Matt Dillon was tooking at a 230Meg drive. What
size of drive are other people using?  What speeds? 

If there is a reasonable response, I'll post the results to the net. If there
is no reasonable response I'll just have to post something else :) :)

Thanks in advance.

ps: My machine is going down for a week, in a week. If I don't respond that
I received your input, then try again after July 10. Thanks.
