For external storage you can get a squirrel pcmcia card that allows you to use scsi devices in an external case like CDroms and harddrives of which you can use 7 in a row  :lol:

There are good looking solutions and there are less good lucking ones. The best looking is to use the squirrel pcmcia scsi controller as I already discribed. 2nd hand 4 Gb scsi drives are not expensive these days. Another way but less good looking is to get an 2,5" to 2x3,5" adaptercable OR an IDE controller so that you get 2 grown up 3,5" IDE ports. Then you can use up to four IDE devices but it´s obvious that you can not use them all inside the A600. Personally I have had no experience with the A600, only with the A1200 but in that case I had the 2nd 3,5" harddisc outside the desktop. As I said, not so good looking but at least it worked !!  :lol:
