You can hang 5.25" drives off them without much trouble, and also (I think) do the other things you wanted. Oh yes, I think there *is* an IBM version of Locoscript, for the PC-compatible Amstrads. Your best bet is to subscribe to one of several UK magazines; try 8000 Plus The Old Barn Somerton Somerset England TA11 7PY or: Amstrad PCW 116-120 Goswell Road London England EC1 7RD If you didn't want to subscribe, you could just buy a couple of back- numbers; they are full of ads and so on. Good luck - Will ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "If heaven too had passions | Will Rose even heaven would | UUCP: {nosc ucsd hplabs!hp-sdd}!crash!pnet01!cw grow old." - Li Ho. | ARPA: crash!pnet01!cwr@nosc.mil | INET: cwr@pnet01.cts.com UUCP: {nosc ucsd hplabs!hp-sdd}!crash!pnet01!cwr ARPA: crash!pnet01!cwr@nosc.mil INET: cwr@pnet01.cts.com
