CF hard disk

[lassie]

Hi do you know if i can put more than 1 Cf hard disk in an Amiga 1200? and if i can how do i do it?

Why do you want to have two?  I'm using a single 16GB internal SSD HD module which is more than enough space for me.

Hi it was because i am going to get 2 or 3 with many games on them. Thats why i asked if it could be done I also have a Cf now im my Amiga 600 and i have tried to used that in the PCMCIA port on my Amiga 1200, but then it will not boot up. Can it be because i have a hard disk in The Amiga 1200 at the same time?

I would recommend against inserting your cf hd card into another amiga pcmcia port especially if the cf is >2gb as i did this with my transcend 4gb card and it cooked the card :furious:
 
I think it damaged the start-up sequence file registry in a way that quarter back tools could not negate.

Okay i did not know that i could damage the card. But it is good to know i should be careful.

Hi,

If all you are going to use it for is to install games, then why not install the adapter in a disk drive bay and mount it on the front of your computer. This way you can have different CF's made up with different OS's and different games. All you would have to do is just turn off your Amiga, unplug the CF that your tired of and plug in a new CF. Face it the Amiga OS doesn't really take up that much rooms and it is a lot better to just by a bunch of CF's install the OS and then mount your games on that CF. It would be just like using a floppy drive but with a lot more space. Like 2GB or 4GB.etc.

I removed my CF from my Amiga 1200, might play around with it by mounting it on the front panel of my A4000 Desktop. The only thing is getting it to run with a CD drive mounted. Haven't had any luck with that yet.
