Hi Ernist, thanks much for the response. You're right about the money being
a problem at least for now. It's going to be a while before I have enough
extra cash laying around to spend a couple hundred bucks on this. In any
case, you're right about dos 3.3 being hard to use on an hd. The only way
I've seen it work is with this old corvus 20 meg drive I have sitting around
here. The damn thing is huge, it ways about 40 pounds or so, and when you
turn it on it sounds like a jet engine winding up for takeoff. It does work
in dos 3.3, but not in prodos. From what I remember, I'd need to get some
sort of network addapter or something to make it work and for this old a
drive, it doesn't seem to be worth it. Oh well, I'll just have to keep
looking around, something's bound to show up eventually.
Thanks again.
