Sorry to post this to both .amiga and .amiga.tech, but I figure
there may be some hackers who read .tech and not the general net.
I am in need of a 5 1/4 inch drive for my 1000, so I can read
IBM formatted disks ( of data that we take at the telescope) into
the Amiga for reduction.  As Commodore no longer makes 1020 drives
(why, Commodore, don't at least bridgecard people want them?) I
need some kind of modification scheme.  So, can someone please tell
me either 1)where I can get a 1020, 2)how to modify an IBM drive to
work, 3)how to modify a C-64 or 128 drive, or 4)how to modify some
other drive (I have a CBM 4040 from my PET days which I would love
to have available for this purpose.)
I'm comfortable with doing the modifications myself, but I need
some sort of schematic for the purpose.  And I presume I will need
a separate power supply or something.  
My configuration is AMI 1000, C.Ltd. Amega-board w/ 1Meg, one
external 3.5 in. and soon to be one Toolbox and GVP Flash Card
with 48MB Seagate drive.  (I will report on this set-up when I get it
all running.)

Thanks alot for any help you can offer,
