Does anybody out there know if the bridgecard and a 40 meg hard card (the true one slot brand) would be a good combination? I'm thinking that might be more cost effective than buying a $350 Commodore controller and a $385 ST251 hard disk drive. For just $200 more I can also get IBM compatibility. Any pros and/or cons — speed etc. I would probably format the card to have about 37 meg for the Amiga and 3 meg for the IBM side. Thanks for the help in advance. Also, I hate loud hard disk drives. Is the 40 meg hardcard noisy (please say no or maybe you have a better brand)?
