Title: Greetings from Holland
Post by: bassgun on July 20, 2007, 10:57:14 PM

Hello all,

I'd like to introduce myself on this site. I am Egon from Holland and the reason of my signup is that I want to reactivate my Amiga life.

This ended when both of my harddisks didn't work anymore :headwall: so I kept all my Amigas on a safe place...

Today I noticed that both of my Amiga 1200 (one normal model and one built in an E/Box tower) were still working.

A question: only my disk drive doesn't work in the tower. I tried several things, and both the cable and the disk drive are working. There is a free cable in the tower, which should fit in the disk drive. But this cable has two wires and connection, and my drive has four. I am afraid I'll blow things up when connecting this cable... can anybody assist me?

Second of all: I apologise of my funny bad-*ss English... feel free to correct me :)  

Best regards,

Egon

@Weirdami,

Not sure what !!= means ?

Anyway, off topic but Holland is a province of the Netherlands, 2 actually North and South Holland.

Dat geldt ook voor meer mensen.
Als je de website van commodore-gg in de gaten houdt, zul je regelmatig op de hoogte worden gebracht van de clubdagen in Maarsen (Utrecht)

Daar kun je ook heeeeeel veel informatie en onderdelen krijgen.
Ik ben daar ook geweest en heb het zelf ervaren.

For the english dudz:

This applies for more people.
If you keep an eye on the Commodore-GG website, you will regular read announcements about the meetings in Maarsen (Utrecht, Holland).
There you can get a whole lot of information and parts.

I have been there, and I have experienced that.
