Luckily, I have a ps/2 -> AT keyboard adapter handy, thanks for the tip!

Did XP or WinUAE not reconized your USB drive?

It's formatted with FFS and has 2 partitions.
When I checked the device manager with both USB's plugged in, it showed up there but no drive letter was assigned in Windows.  I had to unplug one of them (the second being for extra power) so I don't know if Windows lost it.

I didn't have time to try it again yesterday with both plugged in because I was setting up an old 933MHz Gateway E1600 for my parents with a clean install of Win2k.  So much fun...

Once I get the checksum error fixed, it goes back into the SX-1.  Eventually, the whole setup may go for sale by the end of the year.  I just want to make sure it all works.  My Wii will be giving me an internet connection in the living room with the bigscreen.  The CD32 looks nice using the S-VHS out connector.  If Nintendo starts charging a monthly fee for using the browser after 6 months, I'll just have to hope the hacker community get AROS on Wii to bypass that...

Just a question: Have you ever tried browsing the web with AROS?

WinXP should not assign any drive letters to the Amiga hard disk. You can only see the Amiga partition in WinUAE or in an Amiga itself.

No I have AROS Max .48 but I don't think the TCP/IP stack was running despite having an nForce2 motherboard.

Well, I ordered a 2.5"->3.5" IDE hard drive adapter to plug my 2.5" hard drive into my PC.  I was browsing the web with IBrowse back in '96.  But my other partition than contained Genesis and other application may have been an old PFS or SFS...or I just lost everything.  I did dig up a 345MB 3.5" drive that I may have had in a 3.5"->2.5" enclosure...that could very well be my other drive that contains my apps...but I have not idea where I have the enclosure...
