I would suggest that you get a different drive, the JAZ, made by Iomega, which is a 1 GIG removeable HD and is as fast as most HDs and each cartridge is about $99. It may even be used directly by the Flyer since it has sustained transfer rates in the 3mb/sec, I think. It retails for about $499 so I am sure it will sell cheaper.

—I would suggest that you get a different drive, the JAZ— I appreciate that. I am not using a Flyer, just a Toaster and a PAR Board. However, I have 4 questions: Does it hook up quickly and easily to the Amiga? Does it hook up as easily to the Pentium? Will I be able to share files with the 2 different platforms? Will it work with my system as described above? Thanx! J. Morgan Trotter/TX
