- On a 1200 or higher this would be no problem, just connect the pc-ide
- harddisk to you ide controller, but an A500 can only use HD's with
- SCSI controllers so that's no option, also the HD would have to be
- reformatted.
-
- The memory (IF 72 pin sims) can be plugged in almost
- any amiga memory upgrader (that takes sims).
-
- You could store data on the PC via a serial/or paralel network
- but it would be very slow and filenames would have to be 8 char's long
- (or use win 95). Only the program "twin" exists in pd to my knowledge.
