Sb:Bridgeboard harddisk From: Russ Witt 76625,20 To: all **************************** I need to run Autocad on the PC side. please see previous messages as well. What is the best hard drive set up for running Autocad this way ? I already have an early Commodore hard disk controller in place with a 20 meg drive, but with Autocad on the PC side and Pagesetter on the Amy side this will soon become constraining. Thanks in advance!! o o \ / ______ –( . | .) \ " \/ Russ Witt

Russ, It sounds like you need a HD dedicated to the Bridge side. I've seen quite a number of ads for Seagate ST225 drives with controller for in the neighborhood of $230. You'll need and external enclosure and powersupply, but these can be had for about $120. That setup should work just fine, I've got the equivalent (sort of) working on my Bridge side (along with a 20 Meg HD on the Amiga side). Don
