Hi !
I just got an amiga 1200 with a conner peripherals 120 MB IDE 3,5 hard drive. ( well, the 'big, PC' kind
)
I had a CDTV and an A500 before, but this is my first try with hard drives and amigas.
I know that Amiga has space for smaller drives, but when I opened up mine, I found a standard pc HD lying on a sheet of paper, connected to a PC-like power supply plug ( i opened up an a600 wchich is supposed to have similar controllers, and it didn't have such cables ), the plug came out from the area of the floppy drive, while the IDE cable was marked with a marker ( "HD CABLE" ), and had it's red ribbon cut ( the one that marks the 'zero' pin on the ide connector ) - in two places
. Anyway, is this a mod of some kind ? Because I am able to connect this very conner HD to my pc and it fits ( and works ), and I am pretty sure the drive sizes were different.
BTW, what's the max capacity of the HD that the amiga can adress ?
