Sure, I've got all the Amiga developer conference notes and developer
packets from Commodore in the basement, including the rare Janus
(Bridgeboard) programming guide, if you find a Bridgeboard.

Circa 1987, I was technical editor of an Amiga magazine and was once
known as "the father of Amiga journalism." :-) I stopped paying
close attention around 1991, though. There's plenty of info on the
web - just start entering keywords into www.hotbot.com and www.dejanews.com
and you'll find more than you want to know.

They sold external Amiga floppies that could be used on any model
of Amiga - but its floppy port has 23 pins, not 25.
