I'm not sure... But I guess it's quite pointless to attempt to work on something like this without being able to test it with actual hardware. :-( Just for the fun of it, I just checked eBay for drives, but there's nothing viable around right now. Maybe I'll come back to it at some later time? MfG, JBG --
