Why not. as I said it just might be feasible.. Maybe connect a reader to the bus and copy discs.. That would be a cool novelty item for the trendy retrocomputing-person. I've succesfully burned CDs at 2x on an A500 with only 4MB fast and an A590 controller.. Worked fine. The A590 manages 1,5MB/sec on a stock machine.. Quite impressive IMO.
