VERY VERY dumb question!

Guys, im very ashamed of asking this, but...since its been a really long time since last time i happened to use a plain A1200...i feel that i really have to ask this...
 :-o

On the plain A1200 that i was talking about yesterday (the one with the broken mouse pins), i want to put it a hard disk, but i dont want to put the machine on a tower.
I know i have 2 choices: 1) use a 2.5´´ inside the machine (in which case i need the cable for that hard disk, since i have no cables for small hard disks. ) I used to have an adapter for 44 to 40 pins cable, but who knows where´s it...
 :-D  :-D
Anyway, my other choice is to put a 3.5´´ hard disk. And this is where the fun begins...
I used to have a Dataflyer (my first A1200 had this Dataflyer in which i used a CD Rom and a Hard disk), but all cables are missing, i just have the case.
I dont remember, and have no clue on how to connect the 3.5´´ hard disk to my plain 1200. From where do i get the power to connect it? I read somewhere from the floppy drive, but how exactly? I cant remember anything of this...and would love to use this A1200 again...

Where can i find schematics on how to build the cables to use the power flyer again??
Or do i have any other choice? What would you suggest me?

Thanks in advance!!

Ok, an internal 2.5´´. Now next question would be, how could i attach a CD ROM to the same machine? I would need an extra power source right?

Just think, its a plain A1200, with no accelerator, no scsi board, no Squirrel or something like that...just the plain machine... i would defintely need to find out how to build the dataflyer cable again i think..

 :-D  :-D

I dont know in your country, but here, a 2.5´´ costs more than twice than 3.5´´ hdd, and are very difficult to find...
