: I was kinda wondering about a similar solution - I'd like hook up a

   Yeah, they have that for the Amiga, it's somewhere on the AmiNet and 
there is also one for the PC, but I don't know where to get it.

   In fact, I've thought about selling a cheap PC and HD for just this 
purpose because it's be cheaper (and more flexible, actually getting a 
PC) than the CMD HD....  (not that it'd be hard!  I was thinking of a 486/33)
But I don't have the rights to the software....
