That sounds ideal. Slots are no problem, I have my A4000 towered in a
Power Tower, with the 7-slot daughterboard.

Booting would not be a problem, my original HD drive is still
functioning. It's just the fact that it is virtually irreplaceable
now, so reading HD disks would be a problem should it fail.
I imagine I could replace the HD with a DD drive for booting purposes,
should the drive die, and use the catweasel controlled HD for
everything else. I take it the catweasel allows reading of DD disks as
well as HDs?
