   Oh wow, thanks for the info! That certainly does look interesting. So,   
   if I am reading this right, for about $100-$150 - you can get this   
   USB adapter that plugs into drive 1's cable? Too bad it doesn't fit   
   where Drive 1 goes, looks like a floppy drive, but with USB input.   
   I'd still like to find a regular floppy drive if anyone would like to   
   sell. Would like to keep the system as original as possible and besides,   
   $150 is more than I'd really like to spend on this system- only to find   
   it doesn't work as advertised, or you need to buy this, install that,   
   etc. That's been my luck lately with just about every retro computer   
   purchase lately. ;-)
