Lines: 13 When I was visiting the US in februari I saw an advertisement in some computer journal (maybe the computer buyer) in which a box was offered that acted to the outside as a SCSI device, but the drive was some cards with standard SIMMs. One could plug in a few hundred megabytes when working with 16 Mbytes SIMs. It wasn't very cheap though. The question I have with respect to the Atari is whether it would be needed to write an entirely different driver, because I remember seeing delayloops in one of the older versions of AHDI. Maybe I am mistaken here. For those interested to look up the add: I only looked in one of these telephonebook like buyers guides of feb and the MacUser of feb and march. Maybe other people have seen these adds. Jos Vermaseren
