Wow, I've been away for a long time haven't I? Anyway, I figured I would give an update on what's happened with this hard drive situation. Since my last post, my DF1 drive died. I considered replacing it, but I couldn't find any working Commodore floppy drives on ebay. The DF1 I had was a generic brand and I don't want to get another one of those. As for hard drives, I gave up on that. I'm down to one floppy drive now and have switched to using Notepad instead of Pro-Write as a result. Notepad is good enough given my current setup and I can save to the workbench disk since there is some blank space on there. I have Aexplorer on the same disk so I can transfer files to my PC using the null modem cable I have. A hard drive would've been nice, but I guess there's no point for me since I primarily use my A500 for creative writing. I do game on it, but I haven't had any luck finding a game that I really really like (though I might give Pinball Dreams a try since I love pinball video games).
