All this talk of more than one drive on the a1200.  I have a question: anyone know if an ordinary 2.5" to 3.5" ide adaptor could be used to connect a two device 3.5" cable to the 2.5" m/b connector.


Yes, it would work.  Just don't plug in the included power connector.  IMHO, it's better to get a cable, rather than an adapter and a standard cable.  

I got one of the below items for transfering data from my A1200 to my PC running WinUAE.  I use it oposite of how you want to though (so I use the power cable to power the 2.5" HD).

Link to adapter (not sure if this would feed correctly through the RF shield).  Again, you don't need to connect the power cable.
