   Well, I have a similar situation. I acquired an external 3.5" drive that
was used with an I*M Wordprocessor. The drive itself is an ALPS drive, and
the model no. is 246809 (IF that model no. helps).
   The drive looks like a standard OEM item, so I was wondering if I could
interface this puppy to my Amiga 1000.
   Any help is greatly appreciated!
