If I go for option D, I don't think space will be a problem. The device should fit both microdrive locations. To those who prefer option D: * How important would it be to keep an original microdrive functional? * How important would be speed? (To reach maximum speed, it is impossible to use the microdrive connectors for an SD-card device. A second board would be required, attached at a place where some of the 68008 bus is available. Higher costs, and might work for GoldCard/SuperGoldCard only.) All the best Peter _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
