- Flopticals plug right into any machine with a SCSI port; like the TT. If
- you have a DMA port (like any ST/STE), then you need the ICD LINK DMA-SCSI
- cable. With the LINK cable, just plug in the floptical to you hard disk
- port, boot with the ICD driver that comes with the LINK and that's it.
- You now have a 21 meg floptical that, as far as your computer is concerned,
- is a hard disk! In addition to the 21 meg disks, the floptical reads 720K
- and 1.44 meg floppies. One problem, if you have TOS 1.2 or less, programs
- will not run from the floptical.
