@ Rob:
So it seems plausible then, for me to do it the catweasel way.
The answer to your question is, used to, until my 1060 expansion for the A1000 stopped working, so no, I dont have currently any type of hard drive available, but, I think if I can find a fellow amigaman to help me fix it here, perhaps from the aug group, then, I may have a chance.
Also, I figured, I might be able to connect it with the sam board somehow?? (usb an option??)
:-o
