What brand? You should have no trouble adding another drive. Just buy one that has a pass through (the A1010 does and so do most others) and plug the 1010 or whatever brand you purchace and plug your existing drive into that one. The drive will be mounted automagicly and you don't have to do a thing. I think I may have just mis-read your meaning about your external drive because I have never heard of an Amiga drive with no pass-through. Oh well, hope this helps! Ian Smith
