WOW!!!!
 :-D  Supports FAT12/16/32 partitions of any legal size
      Supports drives of any size, though support for >137GB drives needs
more testing.

Why can't the Amiga be this easy to have these features... I know we have IDE FIX, FAST ATA etc etc (A1200 IDEFIX never worked on my system even with 20GB HDD).. anyway all these features for $50-$75, I'll be buying one for my C128D.

Man, that is cool as heck.  A device that'll emulate a CBM HD, 15x1, etc, and all in that under $100 range?  Yeah, that is SERIOUSLY interesting.  Thanks for the link!
