# I'd very much like to do this, any chance of a walkthrough? :)

I had no boot disks or install disks, but I have a network card so I backed my old HDD up onto my PC and made a new boot disk with AmiTCP, FTP and HDTools on. If you don't have any of these things it will be rather difficult.

# Excellent, thank you very much!
Ever tried fitting a USB port?

# I haven't,
I really need to get a USB mouse adapter though, this old ball mouse is beginning to get a pain in the arse.

# There was an old Punchinello thing way back for using PS2, dunno if it required a desktop case though.
USB would only be for mice and removable flash drives really ... gone are the days when I'm prepared to sit down with 100 blank floppies to back up my internal :(

I have seen USB mouse adapters for sale as well, but they only work with mice, not with other devices, and then only if the mouse is secretly a PS/2 mouse inside (you know the ones that come with the little green USB to PS/2 adapter when you buy them).

Spacefish actually made me a PS/2 to Amiga mouse adapter, it's a simple enough circuit with a PIC but it stopped working.
