I know its purpose is to move ADF files around but inasmuch as some models come
with a USB port couldn't it be used to copy data from an Amiga HD or connected
device (e.g. ZiP or Jaz drive) to a more stable media like flash drives?

OK, thanks guys. I was hoping that since the GoTek has a USB port it could serve as
a "pass-through" to send data from the Amiga to a flash drive through its floppy port.

I wonder, though, why the GoTek manufacturer hasn't thought of this.

Since there are wi-fi devices that attach to the parallel port I thought
it possible to send data from the Amiga through the external floppy
port to a flash drive.

Please let me know via PM how I can attach a portable HD or some other storage device such as a flash drive to my SCSI-2
controller.

Regards,
Gary

Well, yes, I couldn't think of the serial port version but, yes, I was aware of them (I even bought a plipbox).

And many thanks for the mention of BlueSCSI, which I hadn't heard of (just as an aside, when I went to
a MicroCenter store recently and mentioned SCSI, the young employee asked if that was a brand ;-)

I would want one ready-made in an enclosure. I'm no electronics technician.

Thanks for the info
