A500-switch ?
/me tries to imagine THAT  ;-)

O.k. serious:
I assume you got an A600 with a ROM-switcher that let's you select either
2.0 or an 1.3-ROM.

The A600 can take 2.5" IDE-disks out of the box (you'll need a cable too), or
3.5" ones (thats the normal size) with a special adapter (available from Vesalia)

You won't be able to use more than 4GB with the 2.0 ROM, and I'm afraid but there
is no inbuilt HD-support in the 1.3-ROM (and I doubt you will find anything on
Aminet either).
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else
