I have no experience with the Tiny Tiger. However, I do recall a
previous attempt at a parallel-port hard drive (Microbotics?). It was
extremely slow -- about the same speed as a floppy drive. 

I recommend a Supra or C Ltd. instead. Both SHOULD have an A1000
version (I don't know if they have run out yet or not).
