I'm considering buying a used Microforge 40meg drive. I've been told that's
it's a great drive but won't work with the Fast File System.
Can anybody tell me if this is a problem that can possibly be corrected OR
since I;ve been using my 1000 for about two years with floppies will the speed
WITHOUT the ffs be enough to make me happy?
Are there any other problems I should be aware of? Thanks for any help!

Art,
Yes, there is a significant difference in speed between a floppy and a
HD. So even without FFS, you'll be 'happy'…just don't go look at an Amiga
running with a HD and FFS and you'll never know what you're missing.

Art,
Well, you will notice a considerable speedup with the Microforge over what
the floppies provide. Unfortunately, I don't think the Microforge software will
ever be updated. If you are getting a particularly good deal on it, you might
consider eventually throwing the controller out and getting one that handles
FFS.
