I'm greatly into this also. I have four amigas.
I'm about to put
"hard drives" in two and replace one in a third with 2gb compact flash
cards attached to ide adapters. They're small, fast, quiet, and the
capacity is huge for the era. On my want-list for hardware is an
Apple 2e and Apple 2gs. Both also have ide controllers being made
today. One also has the compact flash adapter right there on the
card. I'd also like to find a similar scsi solution for my two macs
that doesn't cost a huge amount of money.
Brian, I've done something similar with my Amiga 2000. I'm using a
SCSI-IDE bridge connected to an IDE-CF adapter. Works great.
I'm using a Focus IDE controller in my IIe to run my bbs
(telnet://aor.retroarchive.org). I'm using a ProDOS formatted 128MB CF
card instead of a drive though.
The same is true for networking. Someone has made
ethernet connectors
for the 2e and c64. I also have a deneb board in one of my amiga
2000s. It's a usb 2.0 controller that works with all sorts of things
including usb ethernet adapters.
What OS rev has drivers for the USB card and ethernet controller? I would
love to have the ability to put my A2000 on the net.
