- Anyone have any ideas on where I can find the special connector cable
- to hook up the internal amiga drives, to be shared with the 386 BB?
-
- Or do I need it, can I fake things w/ CrossDOS and access the DD IBM disks
- for the BB via the amiga side?
-
- I've got the manual, but the drawings of the 3 different cables that came
- with the BB when it was new, leave a bit to be desired. Is it just a way
- to hook 2 things up to one floppy? Can I go buy a part to clip onto the
- existing floppy cable from a computer shop and plug the BB into that?
-
- Not having the originals to work from, I'm kind of stuck as to how to put
- together my own. I'd like to have at least one of the internal drives
- usable by the IBM, as I only have one external HD drive for my two amigas,
- and I'd like to leave that on the other computer, and not keep plugging
- it into the back of the brideboard repeatedly.
-
- Any info would be great! I called Copperhead Tech. and TJ's (? I'd not
- called them before, it was a ref. from the Copperhead guy) with no
- success yet.
