You could also try an Opus Challenger 3 - a combo RAM disc and floppy drive
that plugs into the 1MHz bus and just requires a ROM. I used to use it with
AMX Pagemaker, wow, it was soooo fast!

Take a look at the Opus here

Mind you, I have a GoMMC from JK and it's great, I can have a quick game of
Arcadians or something whilst my Windoze is booting up and Outlook is
retrieving my 30Mb of e-mail...

Take a look at what GoMMC is at

Kind regards

Dave ;)

I suppose the only thing you could do without a lot of fiddly
upgrading would be to put in an ADFS ROM and attach a hard
disc.

Best wishes,

Hi

Does anyone else have any experience of tape only B+ machines ?

I feel I have been "short-changed" with mine :-(

Regards

Neil.
