That's cute. But I want to plug in a 16-bit hard disk and a 1.2-meg floppy, and I don't want to buy the XT flavors first. -- Ralph Clark (clark@ttidca.TTI.COM) {csun|philabs|psivax|trwrb}!ttidca!clark

Many thanks to all the people who responded to my networking puzzle. (It
looks like all we really need is a smart printer buffer since everybody
here is too paranoid to allow free file transfer.) Now I have another
semi-related question.
It would be nice to be able to have some kind of file transfer capability
between the various different types of computers we want. The simplest way
to do this is to make the Amigas able to read and write to 1.2Meg 3.5"
AT-style floppies. So my question is this:
- is there an AT bridgeboard available for the 2000?
- who makes it and how much does it cost?
- does it like 1.2Meg 3.5" floppies?
- what chip and clock rate does it use?
Many thanks,
Kevin

It come with a 1.2 Meg 5.25" but you could change that to a 1.44 Meg 3.5" It also comes with software to transfer files from the Amiga to AT and visa versa. > - what chip and clock rate does it use? 80286 and it runs at 8MHz > Many thanks, > Kevin Your welcome, Greg -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Greg Givler Q-Link: Commodore Telecommunications Coordinator CompuServe: CBM/Support 76703,2047 Commodore Customer Support INTERNET: givler@cbmvax.uucp 215-436-4200 (Support Line) OR :::::: givler@cbmvax.cbm.commodore.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Life is pain, Princess, anyone who tells you differently is selling something" - The Dread Pirate Roberts -- The Princess Bride ===============================================================================
