i am the proud owner of an amiga 2000 (well i was really proud of
it at one time).  i just booted it and it runs fine.  i should get
rid of it though.

1. i want to copy the disk drive.  it's a 250MB 50-pin scsi disk
   drive (manufactured in 1989).  anyone out there have a scsi/usb
   converter we can try together?  or can someone recommend a converter?
   for the time being i suppose i can just grab the entire disk image,
   but i should find some s/w to read the filesystem at some point too.

2. any ideas as to what i can do with this machine?  it's a 68030.

it was a machine well ahead of its time, but it's very far behind
the times now.  i hear that linux will run on it and that amiga has
a following in europe.  how old is my information?
