  Yes George you are right ... I have a dual external drive on my
amiga.   It was made by a friend of mine named ed bartz and is a
wonderful little box.  It *DOES* have a external power supply (he is
working on eleminating it with very low power drives) and two switches
to turn off the either or both of the drives.  I have found and some
programs do not work with DF2: attached.  So I have to turn off the
one of the drives and reboot the system.  When I am done with this
program and want DF2: back I have to reboot again.
