- Also, in what way does it connect to the Amiga? Does it use a Zorro II
- slot, the parallel port, serial??? By the sounds of it, it isn't an
- intelligent SCSI device, so that makes me wonder what the software is
- like. Will it run under Workbench 2.0? Will it work with an '030?
- Will it multi-task? From what European software I've seen, these
- last three are important questions.

- cheap you could keep a number of backup copies, which you probably would
- want to do for a device with no ability to verify.
