Hi,

  Has anyone heard any specifics on , or seen any of the rumoured boards
that will turn the 1541 into a parrallel bus drive? (thereby increasing
its' speed). I'm really curious as to the feasibility of purchasing one-

		o  Will it connect to the user or expansion port?
		o  Will it keep the drive as devices 8-11?
		o  Will all software (even stuff that modifies DOS)
		   work on it?
		o  How much faster does it make the 1541? - as fast 
		   as an IEEE drive???
		o  How much does it cost? - and...
		o  How reliable can I expect it to be? (who makes it!)

I will post a summary if I receive enough responses,
Eric
