Has anyone tried this on an A1200?
« on: June 05, 2003, 07:27:44 PM »
Hello, this is my first post in these forums, and I had an interesting quesiton for all you Amiga hardware hackers out there:
Has any one tried to replace the hard drive with a Compact Flash to IDE adapter?  

I know this works on regular PC hardware, as the CF card looks just like a small hard drive to the system.  However, small is relative.  Currently, I have a 40 MB (that's megabyte) drive in there, so a 64MB or 128MB CF card would give me a lot more space to "play" with.   I wouldn't worry too much about the write limit of the flash, as I don't think I'd be witing to it that much.  
Benefits would be it's quieter, cooler, lower-power, and faster.

So, what do ya'll think?

ThanX!
a.m.

ThanX everyone!  I think this is definately a project I'll work on, but just today the Amy got packed up as we're moving in a few months, but I'm always fishing for project ideas, which  is why I floated this past everyone.  Once I do try it out, I'll let everyone here know about my expereience with it...
