I have been meaning for some time to write a short report on my building
of the ByNery Shareware Hard Disk interface, which allows you to interface 
an IBM XT type Hard disk to your Amiga, but It hasn't happened.

SO,
	I'll just report that it works marvelously, I have a 40 MB 
drive formatted as 3 partitions, it's fast enough for me, it makes
my computer worth using (previously I was a one-floppy man.) 
I did get the shareware support, ($30) and I ended up buying the
recommended controller (be careful, not all will work), and the 
disk was used, so I spent about $130 dollars and about 6 hours
to have a hard drive. I am open to questions, requests for the 
introductory package, which will actually get the thing working 
with a 10 MB drive or partition, and I support the shareware
agreement, so don't ask for the full package from me. 
The intro package is available ftp from ab20.larc.nasa.gov, 
in /amiga/hardware/bynery.zoo.

P.S. I have this hoorible felling that I promised a copy to someone via 
e-mail and lost the request. Are you out there?
