- Ya, I was also thinking about getting a ZIP drive, but since my other HD's
- don't work with it at this time on my GVPSCSI controler I just have to either
- WAIT untel the problem gets fixed, or untel I Upgrade my Amiga 1200 to a
- PowerPC Processor and get a New SCSI Card for that if need be, but then might
- have a whole new set of problems. I wonder, PowerPC MAC Emulation. Of
- course I would guess requiring one of them 4 meg ROM's! Gezzzz.
