- BS> do you happen to know if the mio will run an 8" drive?
-
- The MIO doesn't have any direct support for drive mechanisms. However if
- you can somehow come up with a generic SCSI controller for the drive, you
- should be able to run it through the MIO's SCSI port.
-
- The bigger question (other than you probally already have an 8" drive) is
- why you would *want* to use an 8" drive on your Atari? They are larger and
- have less capacity than a 5.25 or 3.5 drive, not to mention harder to find
- replacement parts for.
