Hitachi 2,5" drive. Can I use it in A1200D

Hitachi are good, and as far as the amiga is concerned, it doesn't care if its UDMA33/66/100/133. the drives have to support PIO mode 0, which is what the amiga uses, to be able to boot in the first place, untill what ever OS sorts out its chipset drivers to support the higher speed modes. thats my understanding.

have had no problem accessing a 20Gb UDMA133 and 100Gb UDMA100 drive on my os 3.0 A1200. just a shame that the 3.0 roms would only allow me to see the first 8gb of them :/ but then i'm not sure if that was a FFS problem or a rom problem.  :-)

yeah it puzzeled me too. it gave me two 4096mb 'areas'. the first area was +numbers, and the second area was -numbers.

i have a 5.1Gb drive in there at the moment (3.0 rom, 4.8gb formated capacity) and if you open the drive, it tells me that it is an 800Mb drive (the bit over the 4Gb limit).

when i stuck the 100Gb drive on my A4000T 3.1 roms OS3.5 update, it thought it was a 36Gb drive. again, not sure if it was a filesystem problem or rom issue.
