Title: CD32 + Hard Disc
Post by: salfordman on September 12, 2007, 06:06:32 PM

I have just received my brand new spanking cd32!I was wondering if there is anyway i can fit a hard disc or compact flash drive inside and install workbench 3.1 on it?
Also could i use adf files straight from the hard disc?
Is there any tutorials or iam pushing my luck

cheers

You can fit a harddisk but you'll need to get one of the expansion board for it like the SX-32 MKii (http://www.amiga-hardware.com/showhardware.cgi?HARDID=1745). These go for quite a bit on ebay, the last one I saw on buy-it-now was £149.99 :crazy:

You'll also need a 2.5" harddrive and a cable to connect them (obviously)

Oh and welcome to Amiga.org!

I'm not overly experienced with this, so I could be wrong, however I once had a CD32 and had it set up the way your looking to set yous up. I believe the only way to do this is to purchase the SX1 addon for the CD32. This basically allows you to turn your CD32 into an A1200. As I said, I had mine set up this way years ago, and I am not aware of any other way of doing it.
