Hi Mike,

Grrrrr, now the sun's shi..'ing on me!!! :)))) Hahhahahahhahahahhhah, all I
can do is laugh because that black bin liner is in my room; but I'm calm, i'm
cool... Arrrrgghhhh you fu@#~*g thing!!! :)))
Okay, think.... :) Maybe if I got a 2.5" cable and chopped it in half; what
if, i just didn't bother! Nice one; I like that :))
>Getting the high density ribbon cable is enough for a nightmare! I melted
>my Catweasel cable and had to rebuild it from a hacked up 2.5"-> 3.5"
>cable.... and i'm not sure if it fully works anymore :(
Well; my clock port is buried under loads of wires, ribbon cables, and the ateo
(redundant) bus... ;)
>>>Hmmm, is it really worth it though??!

>>No, but it'd be cool :) Like I said to, I'd always choose
>>those lovely AGA
>>Laced modes though..... ;-)) Besides; if I get an ethernet

>>I can plug them in... as if they'll arrive... ;)

>You can hope, if you have the will. ahahah.
Hope! Hope?! I'd need a bleedy religious movement to give me the FAITH ;)
I need to wait for those drivers to arrive. And if Ateo can't do it; then I
guess I will...
...sometime...
...when i get some docs...
...and when i have read umpteen docs....
...and am confident in assembler...
...arrrrrghhhh!
Let's just get the PPC going first.... :))
>I guess this will all be sorted by the summer so I can come and see it in
>action? :) hehe.
Summer, Summer!! :)) Haahahahhhaaahaaahaaa, sorry, ahem. :) Yes, it should
be working then, in all its glory; glory!!?! Haa haa that's a laugh an ur-alf!
;) No, I'll have a PPC then, well I have one now, just not a working one!!!
:))) Yeah, when yer down at summer; maybe I'll have something more inspiring
to show you...
..like my A600 web-tv idea (quite simple really... and Mike, it will use AMail...)...
...and who knows, the A1200 Desktop may have a working cd-rom drive and a powerful
enough CD-ROM...
...the A1200T something more than 2Mb Chip RAM and a 68EC020...
all fun and games! :))
Still nicer than a PC ;)
All the best,
Nick.
