I see that Morley Electronics are now advertising internal 20Mb floptical
drives for all Archimedes machines. The Serial Port say that their internal
version only works with the A5000, and makes use of the Econet port.

I know that using the Econet port for this purpose is morally dubious,
but is there any reason why it could not be done with older machines?
Perhaps space is the problem?

Simon.
