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.
