	There are a couple (several?) commercial products that do this. They
typically allow you to hook up a PC hard disk controller to your Amiga bus.
I haven't seen any PD versions though. :-( (NES sells a Zorro/ISA prototyping
board, so I'd be very happy if someone did a PD one.) :-) The interface to go
between the Amiga and the PC isn't too hard, but you have to write drivers
for any card you might want to plug in.
