Well, I can't say I've done but I sure have thought about it an awful lot. :-)
Maybe someday I'll have the money to do something. :-(

What you are saying would work but I saw something recently that may be cheaper
and more elegent.  I the "unclassifieds" in the back of the January/February
issue of Info is an ad for an "St506 adapter" for an a500.  Presumeably they
mean controler.  I've never heard of an st506 host adapter.  Anyway they are
wanting $200 for the beast.

Tell me how it works out.  Maybe I'll be doing the same before the end of the
decade. :-)
