No idea, I rather doubt it. As far as I know, this drive only knows two
speeds, full and half, but a Mac drive needs more fine tuning of the speed?

>Can I hook up a HD drive to my A500?

Don't know precisely, but that's perhaps possible.

>What will be the price of the drive?

No idea. (You know you rarely get an answer for such questions :-)

>Will it be able to format DD disks with HD capacity (ie. will it look for
>the hole in HD disks or not? I hope it won't).

No, you definitely need HD disks. DD's really can't hold that much of
data, else this would have been common for some years already.
