Title: Unknown amiga cable
Post by: Dingo_aus on December 30, 2005, 10:16:03 AM

I recently acquired a whole pile of amiga stuff and this cable was included. I have no idea what is for. I'd guess something to do with a A1200 or A2000 that was part of the pile but didn't make it to me.

Can anyone ID this cable?

@Prober

Thats not exactly correct. Its useless on a classic amiga, ( maybe it was bundled with the 1200 due an error ) but quite usefull on AmigaOne and MicroAmigaOne, since them can use SATA boards. :-D

Hope once Os4 is running on the classics, which have possibilitie for PCI busboards, there will be SATA pci driver available for them too.

Dreaming is free anyway.  :roll:
