Title: Compact Flash On The Amiga
Post by: HopperJF on July 31, 2008, 05:49:57 PM

Hi, I'm after an A1200 3.1 but was thinking instead of getting a HD for it for a ridiculous price, how about getting a compact Flash adapter from 2.5" IDE HD > Compact Flash from eBay for about £2.50 and getting a cheap Compact Flash card?

It says the likes of DOS and Windows would recognise it as a standard 2.5" HD so would it be the same in say, Workbench 3.1?

Also has anybody here done this and was there any problems getting it tidily into the A1200?

Much thanks  :pint:

Not only has somebody done what you intend on doing BUT there's even a tutorial written by the exact same somebody  :-D
