Heres the scoop Mike. The best solution I have seen so far is a 286 Bridge (an xt with an Intel aboveboard or Sota 386 si might work also). Seems I have heard about cards which connect up the Amiga and PC slots like a bridge without a computer, that might work. I think Spirit Technologies is marketing a box for A1000s and A500s that has several slots for PC cards. Once youve got the hardware solution then you get to figure out the encoding scheme. Most are high sierra format whatever that means. I assume that there is documentation avaialble somewhere to figure out how to access the data on the disks, but it would be time to drag out the old C compiler and invent your own search engine. Whats your application ? Would you be interested in developing a general solution? It looks like no one else is in this yet for the Amiga. I have given it quite a bit of thought. I have a pet application that is about to force me to buy a 386. I am an Amiga partisan however and would dearly love to see this area open up to Amigans. The medical picture databases (Tumors) and the leagal stuff might be worth some money, the encyclopedia and geographical stuff might sell also. I know my application would perform much better on an Amiga. Do you know any more than this ? Russ
