Hello!  I have been reading this group for a few months, and it firmly
convinced me to purchase an Amiga.  The help from CATS, DOGS, GOATS and HOGS is
really appreciated.  I'm the proud father of a bouncing 2000 (KS 1.3)!  I do
have some questions:

1)
  I plan on purchasing an A2090a SCSI and installing a Rodime R05180 drive.
  This is a beastie with:
     7 heads, 1218 cylinders (1223 total), internal bad sector logging,
     10 Mhz (maybe 12MHz), 18msec (maybe 12msec), 5 1/4" disk, 180MB disk.
  Does anyone have any experience with Rodime 5 1/4" drives?  Do you see any
  problems with this setup?

2)
  In an unrelated note, has anyone ported Gnu Emacs yet?  Is there an ftp site
  that I can grab it from?

3)
  I got Digi-view for some fun.    I didn't want to spend $22.00 on their
  gender bender, so I just hooked up a normal cable gender bender (to convert
  from A500 to A2000).  Does anyone know it you can use this with
  output from a VCR (RCA output) or do you really need the camera (I tried, but
  all I get is "video signal not present").


Thanks in advance.
