- I'm wondering if it is possible to attach a 71M MFM Hard Drive into the
- AT-slot, pre-formatted under MSDOS 5.0, and then use something like
- CrossDos v5 to partition the MFM HD to work with CrossDos ?? I know
- it sounds stupid to use 'MFM' but I can get one for virtually free and am
- hoping to possibly use it as a backup of some sort. Since the controller
- card will be MFM, will I need a SCSI card to eventually partition the MFM ?
- My system is just a stock A2000 (for now at least) with 1M Chip ram.
-
- Since I've no clue as to whether this is worth it, any suggestions, hints,
- ideas, will be GREATLY appreciated !!! 8^>

- Thanx in advance...

- Another happy multi-tasker!!
