I did mean a regular Commodore A600 or A1200s not resurrected A1200s from ESCOM etc. I know they had different drives which is why I never bid on them on ebay etc. Interesting that they can read/write HD Amiga format disks.

Any more info on this anyone? I would be interested in getting an AT A1200 now if I can get a HD disk formatted on it.

(otherwise it ain't worth the ass ache with all the problems the AT A1200 disk drive has loading older/tricky disk formats on original games)


They can't read/write HD disks.

My HD drive can handle older and tricky disk formats on games and what-not with no prob.  (the Sony MPF920-E)

Yes Amiga Tech. A1200s can read HD disks... mine can.  I must say I didn't realize mine was so special in this regard.

No A1200s can read HD disks without additional hardware. Not yours, not anyone's.

You most likely have one of these installed : http://www.amiga-hardware.com/showhardware.cgi?HARDID=381
