I really wish that more people (like myself) knew about these dangers. All I 
assumed was that it wouldn't be a good idea to "hot-swap" the A9M0107 to a Mac 
that was already under power. 

Are you serious? Will it really juice your floppy controller or something? I 
had it connected to my SE/30 booted from 6.0.8 floppy and all that happened was 
that the A9M0107 couldn't successfully initialize a disc I gave it. All that 
would happen is it would ask me to either Eject or Init. I would choose init 
and the drive would spin up and then say that the disc is write protected. 
(despite my putting tape on the disk) 

I can dig up an LC with the ][e card in it if this is the only way- But does 
the group think that I would be better off trying to do this in Linux?
