Is there software (some backup-prg.) or even just some driver (handler/device)
to access a Ditto-800 parallel port streamer from the Amiga?
I'm very interested in doing so and would appresciate any help (any example
showing how to access that "biest", assembler, C or whatever)!

Now if there's nothing there (yet), I've read about another way to get my
Amiga files backed up somewhere (unfortunally I can't remember where :().
The article (or ad even) said something about connecting the Amiga to a PC
via par-port and accessing the PC hard drive from the Amiga just like a
normal drive (via handler). Does anybody know about this software (or some-
thing similar to that)?

Thank you in advance for any kind of reply as I'm desperate to get my old
HD (60MB and decreasing ~ falling apart) backed up (got it on disks, but
they're not that secure too)! X-|
