Hi just a quick update ,whilst I take a break from plumbing ,I managed to fit the roms ok ,and booted up with just the harddrive and one floppy connected and I am afraid no drive showed up ,I even tried just the harddrive as that has os 3.5 but nothing again only the floppy screen ,so I think I will buy a Buddha from Amigakit as I already have a new TrueIDE and loads of cf cards which I would prefer ,giving the noise that one of the other drives makes which is being returned ,I am not sure this option is the best one, but both my A1200 and A600 run off cf cards and they run wonderfully well ,so as soon as Amigakit have sorted me a Buddha out ,I will buy one ,best wishes Brian:)
