Now that I have four eight inch drives running on my Model II I thought it would be kind of nice to run a hard disc and maybe two floppies (oh heck run four). At one time Radio Schlock sold a 15M hard drive for the price of a used Volvo which from the pictures seems to be the size of a VW Microbus. Questions. What were these drives and how common are they? Have any of you put a hard disc of any form on a Model II and what did you learn from it? How easy is it to make the hard disc bootable? Have you found a way to boot the hard disc with elegance, say so that if a floppy is in drive 0 then you boot from drive 0? Am I being really ignorant? ********* 73 ********** Richard Loken VE6BSV . **** .. **** Athabasca University .... **** Athabasca, Alberta Canada ..........**** alberta!auvax
