In a similar vien, would it be possible to connect one of apples new FDHD (or whatever the call them) drives up as a second drive? My guess is yes, as long as a eject button were grafted upon that silly paperclip eject button. These drives are capable of reading both Macintosh 800k, or IBM 1.44 Meg. If it can read 1.44 Meg, it should handle IBM 720k, which from the sound of the discussion, are semi compatible with Amiga drives. Sounds Keen to me. Am I missing something? paul -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Graphiti on the wall of civil rights organization in the sixties "There is a town in Mississippi named Liberty There is a Department in Washington called Justice" A more socially aware sort of .sig witting@topaz.rutgers.edu
