Good luck! You might be better off borrowing, or sending the disks to someone with an
Amiga 2000 (or greater) - they almost always have hard drives. With CrossDOS, they can
copy the data to IBM floppy disks. Please define "a ton"...

Yeah yeah, I know....? What does
an Atari guy need with an Amiga HD.? ? I have a
ton of Lynx developer disks, all in Amiga format that I need
to read and I have an Amiga 1000, so to make things easier
I'd like to add a Hard Drive onto it for doing the OS load
up, using the Cloanto tools and transfer those disks over to
my PC.
Now for a guy who 20 years ago used to get involved in the
numerous Atari vs. Amiga battles, I find it interesting that
there are more hard disk interfaces for the ST's then you
can count, yet for the life of me, I can't seem to clearly
find any Amiga 1000 hard drive interfaces with the exception
of the Pheonix motherboard
replacement.???Anyone on the list who's an
Amiga fan know exactly where I can find a hard disk solution
for the Amiga (commercial or homebrew) that is still
actively and easily available.
