Heh; so far I have spent 150 USD for this mod; between case, components; material, adapters and such...would cost me less to get a 4000 if I have to spend also money for the item that you posted
99 euro is about 140 USD, without even considering shipping!
Plus you need to play with the buttons and read on a tiny LCD screen...if you have 2000 disks basically you can just cut your wrists and wait for a slow death
I wish there was a better system; altho I use the floppy so rarely that it won't really bother me.
Understandable, money is hard to come by these days. I don't own one of these devices my self, at least not yet, but I want one because like money, floppy disks are becoming rarer, and they will not last forever, so a solution like this will help everyone in the long run me thinks. As for the menu system, I don't find it that annoying with the similar devices I own for my Atari 8-bit computers. Mind you, disk switching is done on the monitor through the Atari, but I'm sure looking at an LCD can't be any worse than using a calculator, though I think the cheaper offerings (without the screen) can be driven via the Amiga too.
Anyhow, I just thought you might find it handy. I am loving this thread of yours though, one of the more interesting threads in a while.
