- Well Ruben, there are thing to concider here. First; I have all the scsi units only available to
- the Amiga as I have a CRAPPY Laptop PC (486SX25 4/170 and NOTHING more) so I have nowhere to
- back it up to! Also; Trans64 takes what 1.5 minutes? "1541" by Dan Babcock takes 13 second! I'll
- need to port som 1500 disks and EVERY second is VERY precious!
-
- There are schemes on how to connect a PC drive (360K old one with adjustable speed I guess) to
- the Amiga, and I'm curious if this one would work as a substitute for the 1020...
