Title: A4000 hard drive cable
Post by: paul_m on June 21, 2005, 08:43:22 AM

As the ide port on the 4000, does not have the missing pin, can you use a normal ide cable, and just make a hole for the pin, or do I need to locate a Amiga specific lead?

AFAIK, you can find normal IDE cables without the missing hole, there is no problem in using them, just be careful to correctly align the cable.  :-D

Yes, you can use normal IDE cable. Just fit one yesterday into my A4000. Works fine.  :-D
