These adapters DO exist, for I am considering buying one, BUT I don't know much about the Shugart drives. Do they still exist? If so, how good are they, expensive, whatever. Does anybody have any Shugart knowledge, even if on another machine? -Remo BTW, the adaptor is an unassembled board available for $10, and will have less than $10 in parts (approx.). Anybody interested, I will give you the address,etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ..{nbires,ncar,seismo,ihnp4}!boulder!tramp!williamm \ Bela Lugosi riding the BIT: WILLIAMS%CUBLDR@VAXF.COLORADO.EDU / Kundalini Express in ...
