    Is it any way to mount my Amiga HDD on a MacBook?

    OS X, vmware and windows also are playing. I am interested in any kind of solution.

    under windows you can mount your amiga hdd with winuae. it works perfectly, i copied everything important from my old amiga hdd to a ntfs partition with dopus4:)
    i guess the osx version of uae knows the same. for vmware try aros. linux also is an alternative.

    OK, so I need to install a windows under Boot Camp, because VMWare can't handle a whole hard disk, only partitions or hard files, so that e-uae.

    I'll give it a try, thanks.

    Has anyone here tried to do mac OS X UAE, will it mount an Amiga (or MOS for that matter) HDD directly if you stick it on the Mac's native IDE?

    I've got a whole ATA connector free on my Quicksilver, the faster of the two, because all my HDDs are on the SATA card instead, which is 133 vs 100. On a very disk intensive OS like X, the faster drive/card really makes a noticeable difference. Mac OS X is a pig compared to MOS! I also wish I could easily stick stuff in RAM like on my Amiga..
