yea I know.  If one were clever enough you could boot
off of a boot floppy that loads pc2amiga, does the

pc:c  ..viola.. a hard drive for your amiga.. dunno
how fast it is but maybe faster then booting off of
floppy.

There isnt enough info on that site about the
software.. I'd be leery of buying a cable without
knowing more about the software itself.
