Title: Slimline external 3,5" discdrive for every Amiga !!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Effy on January 25, 2004, 09:12:13 PM: I am offering my own Dell 3,5" high density drive that works on every Amiga from kickstart 2.0 and up. It has been tested on an A500 with 2.1, an A500+ with 3.1 and my A1200 with 3.1. The Amiga detects it automaticly as a high density drive and if you wanna format a disc then you get the choice between 880 K or 1,66 Mb. Formatting pc discs on 1,44 Mb is also no problem.
I also add a 2nd high density drive but this one has got no cable to connect to the Amiga and it also gives errors but maybe somebody can fix it ???
Also included are 10 Amiga CDroms from german magazines with all kinds of software !!!

A kludge is like a hack, a way of getting something to work that normally wouldn't

No this is an official Dell floppy for the Amiga. of course it was originally a PC drive wrigged by them to work for Amiga. High Density 1.44 on PC 1.76 on Amiga I think.
