Yeah, considering you can get all the 486-66 computers you want for free,
there must be some way of emulating one of those hard disks and feeding the
data in/out via a serial port or printer port, or worst case making a board
to do the i/o.  That might be cool, effectively having unlimited memory/hard
disk space/processing speed to handle it.

I wonder if you could modify a UniDisk 3.5" to interface with a PC...
