The situation:
	I have an Amiga 2000 and was reading with great interest the
different results which people have had with their hard disk interfaces.
I was looking to get Kickstart 1.3 in ROM so that I could have an
autobooting hard disk, and I was trying to decide between a SCSI and
an ST506 drive (price/capacity tradeoff being the choice)
	But now, I may HAVE to do some work at home under MS-DOS (ugh!)
and I was thinking of getting an AT Bridgecard (which will be here RSN).

The question:
	How to proceed?  Given that I want the best of both worlds
(i.e.) an autobooting Amiga hard drive and the ability for the IBM
side to use a hard disk.

(I don't think that the IBM side can access an Amiga side hard drive;
correct me if I am wrong)

Thanks for any responses,

Jerry Zarycky
