Talking of the Amiga 1020 drive... I would like to get hold of one of these. Am
I correct in thinking that they were not sold in the UK (where I live)?
If I can't find an A1020 (or compatible replacement, if any were made), I may
try and rig up my own drive.
To this end, can some kind person who owns an A1020 open it up, and tell me
what type/model the drive mechanism is, and also describe any interface PCB
that's inside?

As for disk transfers, I can do that with my
handy-dandy A1020 drive
on my Amiga. It reads and writes several Atari 8-bit formats just
fine, including 810 (SS/SD) and XF551 (DS/DD?).
Hmm have to check that out.
