Looking for an Atari Falcon

Well, HdDriver is the best hard disk driver for Atari 16/32 machines.
While others are quite limited in several ways HdDriver allows to use F32 in combination with replacement operating systems like MiNT or MagiC, plus you can use big hard drives. On one of my Falcons I have 120 gigs attached to listen to mp3 files - this is just possible through HdDriver.
Uwe Seimet, the programmer is doing a terrific job, and the software is worth every cent you pay if you ask me.

I'm using other drivers on earlier machines as well (on which I don't need so much features), so I think I know what I'm talking about.

I agree that HDDriver is the best. CBHD is pretty good as well. I used that on my TT030 with an 8GB drive (2GB partitions) with FAT32 and Minix partitions for years.

That said, I still don't want to pay for hard drive software for my Atari, so I don't. Since I personally don't have a need for a 120GB hard drive on my Atari, I guess I'm ok .

Btw:
I recently heard that a system like NetBSD will run without Atari hard disk drivers, so this should make bigger drives available as well, if you just want to run any operating system on your machine to fiddle around with it.

I think you should integrate an Atari Falcon into a Ford Falcon as a carputer.

Well you need 14mb ram and a 1gb at least hard drive in it I would just keep tos on with the standard hard disk drive ahdi.
Just use a serial null modem put on some games, mp3's, pictures, aniplayer, nvdi, set up sting for internet and your off.
Excellent little computer really still usable as ones main computer if you so wished.
