what //c hard drive are you using...the f/x 20 i think it was called or the
chinook?

i assume it runs off the floppy port (or does the //c+ have a scsi port i
forget)

if you DO have the chinook version that runs off the disk port...there were
a few of these drives you should talk  to some of the more devious hacker
hardware types around this newsgroup and see if a floppy drive based chinook
or whatever could be pop'd together and use whatever setup software came
with it.

of course with the other news on the newsgroup of the SVG Drive the
semi-virtual drive...it is prob somewhat un-needed..

just curious...dang if i can remember if the //c + had a scsi port..i don't
think so...but ...i always migrated to slots in my apple purchases
