But expensive adapters soon emerged. They took for the most part SCSI which was later built in to some models. ISA and Zorros slots could run IDE cards. HDs were very expensive. My first used A500 bought in 1993 had a 40 MB in a big box that housed the interface also. and also had a RAM expansion in between the HD and the console. Ungainly but not bad when you got used to it. Then models with slots came. There are even USB adapters now. A so called COmmodore 64 is reemrging. A console PC really. Tandy/Radio Shack models called CoCos ( Color Computers ) used tape drives. I think it is only in the last ten years their adherents have developed drive interfaces. -- Adrian D'Alessio aka; Fluxstringer fluxstrin...@gmail.com http://www.flickr.com/photos/fluxstreamcommunication/ http://www.youtube.com/fluxstringer http://www.facebook.com/FluxStringer http://www.linkedin.com/in/fluxstreamcommunications http://flux-influx.blogspot.com/ http://remnantsofthestorm.blogspot.com http://fluxdreams.designbinder.com/ -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
