Help with a1200 setup
« on: May 20, 2003, 09:59:50 AM »
Hey people, i got that a1200 (those of you that read my last thread), need a lil help setting up the HDD. I have got a "Laptop" drive, its only 85mb but hey what the hell its better than nothing. Im guessing that i use the "install" disk after i have put the drive in, anyone got any advice on the actual install of the drive itself? Thanks :-?

Cool, i dont have no drive cage tho, i can proberbly make something up. I have the drive, its got a 44pin ribbon cable on it, but no jumpers or power leads? I have got the jumper settings off the internet, im guessing i set it as a master drive? What about power, someone told me (as there are no power connectors as such on the drive), that the amiga supplies power through the ribbon cable? Cheers.  :-D
