I have seen the MicroForge drives in action. The interface is totally
non-asthetic, does not seem to do a pin-passthrough of the bus, but *does*
work. It requires an external power supply of OEM astheticness (which is to
say none). Prices quoted by KJ Computers (ELLAY) are $1300 for 10MB and $1500
for 20MB. Jambs gainst the bus port in a most ugly way, thankfully not
blocking the Atari-type joystick/mouse ports. And the power supply is not
safe for young children. But it *does* work, and it is fast. Too bad that
Activision and Electronic Arts stuff is so lazily copy-protected that they
cannot be installed on *any* hard disk. But I digess…. *kevin*
