Hello world! I'm a happy A500 owner with 3 floppy diskdrives, 3.5 megs of memory, and a need for harddisk drive. Being naturally poor (college student), I have been saving my money for a long time but not enough for those hot shot GVP and even Supra SCSI drives. Few options are now possible to me. 1. I could get build a IBM MFM interface for my A500 and use a cheap MFM drive on my amiga 500. (non-autobooting and slow cmp to SCSI/IDE) 2. Maybe ICD's IDE interface and 40mb. or ICD's internal 20MB '20i'. 3. Any good deals on SCSI. I would like it very much if it is AMAXII compatible. since that's part of my reason for a harddrive. (floppy based mac is death.. even with ramdisk) I would appreciate any comments, hints, informations, advices. -- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + AAllll tthhoossee mmoommeennttss wwiillll bbee lloosstt iinn ttiimmee,, lliikkee tteeaarrss iinn tthhee rraaiinn.. + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + (**) Maxc1553@ucselx.sdsu.edu (**) Billy - IInnnneerrTTaannggeenntt - Human1 +
