Thanks to everyone's help I have decided to keep the 14400 modem and buy a
serial card to improve my A5000.

Hopefully, you could perhaps help me with my second query. The other query I
had was with regards to a second HD, possible removeable. Someone suggested
a second HD in an external case and someone else has kindly offered me their
internal syquest.

My questions are:

1. If I have an external HD, I presume it would be an IDE disc; how is this
connected to the computer?

2. Can I fit an internal syquest into an A5000 ( I have a spare slot where
the 2nd floppy would normally go) would this then connect to the same place
as the existing HD?


My apologies if these are simple questions but my mechanical expertise can
be written on the back of a stamp (in big writing)!!   :)

Mike
