to add a hard drive to my 600 i got a rom chip from a non working 600hd and swapped them. If i remember rightly the 600 wouldnt boot from the HD with the original 2.05 rom

The 1200's will work with HD's, there is no this-rom-doesnt-support-hds problem ;-)

On the A1200 there shouldn't be any problems like that.. just get a 2,5" hd and cable and connect it, should work fine..
