Oh, I think I read about 1541-IDE many years ago but at that time I thin it wasn't finished. This could be a product people would want to buy if the price is reasonable. It might also be a good idea to have something similar but for the bigger IEEE drives. -- (\_/) Copy the bunny to your mails to help (O.o) him achieve world domination.
