I agree; something like the above -- archive onto the HD, and have some mechanism for de-archiving onto a spare floppy -- might be quite cool. > CMD devs little overpriced I think for this purpose. I cannot live with the > following things: Well, I don't want to get in a big CMD war, but my usual argument is that unlike a PC, the CMD device will be useful for a good 20 years, so once you amortize the cost over that time they become an incredible _value_. I think my FD-2000 is just the greatest thing in the world -- a real bargain. It's hard to describe just how nifty it is. Let me put it this way: I use the 128+FD2000 quite a lot more than my fancy 030/50 Amiga. Also, for what it's worth, all CMD products come with JD installed (you listed them as extra on your price list). Could I have bought a cheapo PC for that money? Sure. But I would lose compatability, desktop space, and _serious_ convenience. Besides, the FD is much more cool-looking :). By the way, on a totally different subject, I am writing an 816 assembler (on my 128+FD2000 of course :). Are there any SCPU guys out there, who could do a little beta testing?
