I am posting this message for a friend who does not have access to this net:

I recently heard a rumor of an article in a magazine on how to hook up
an ibm (eh, hate to have to say that :) 3.5" disk drive to the amiga (as
an external drive).  Does anyone know if this is true, and if it is,
what magazine the article was in, and what issue?  Amiga and third party
external disk drives are expensive, and ibm 3.5" drives are fairly
cheap to buy, and I don't mind doing a bit of soldering work if it means
saving some money.

If you have access to Bitnet please respond directly to John.  If you 
don't have access to Bitnet please respond directly to me and I will
forward the reply.  We would prefer direct replies rather than posting to
the group because I don't have an Amiga thus never read this group and John
doesn't have access.  Thank you.
