[comp.sys.amiga] replacing DF0 in an A1000? Starboard II question

IO91461%MAINE.BITNET@cunyvm.cuny.edu (02/20/90)

         I would like to know if any one has had any success replacing
   there A1000's internal Drive without cosmetically modifing the
   1000's exterior case? (I really don't want to spend $189 on one of
   Commodore's replacement drives) If so what brand 720k PC drive did
   you use? Any Compatibility problems with it?

         I am looking around for a used StarBoard II w/StarCard and need
   to know about the performance of the SCSI controller itself. Is it as
   fast as a Xetec FastTrack? (if both were using the same Hard Drives)
   What kind of transfer Rate could I expect using a Quantum 40s with it?

         Lastly, I have the A-max Cartridge & 128K roms and am having
   trouble bringing the first system over via The Mini Disk Transfer
   method... Are there any tricks to this??? I have Access to Macs so
   I'd rather not buy a Mac External Drive if I can help it...

                             Thanks for your time,

                                           Tom Nezwek
