I've been using one and BDOS for quite a few months now, and I can recommend to anyone wanting to stick a hard one into their Sam (er, hard DISK, that is). Sure, loads of people (Mr. Brenchley included) complain that BDOS splits your hard disk into floppy disk-sized records, rather than functioning 'properly' with directories and such. Better that than a hard disk interface and a DOS which *doesn't work at all* though, eh? The biggest problem you'll face is remembering the names/numbers of your records.
If you're keen to keep your 2-drive setup, you'll probably need the external version of the interface, but I'm sure Edwin Blink can fill in the details on this, as both the ATOM and BDOS are his babies... Alternatively, if you're after a real sales pitch, I'm sure David Ledbury can help out. -- < The HEXdidn't...
