SCSI Controller for A4000
« on: April 09, 2004, 05:05:41 AM »
What's everyones recommendations for adding a SCSI controller to an A4000? It's a standard A4000, so it doesnt have any special backplane installed...

I just want to hook up a Zip drive or an external hard drive to back up some stuff. I made ADF files out of the diskettes I got with my Amiga's. Need to move them onto some sort of backup media...

Any recommendations would be appreciated

Thanks,
Brad

Regarding using another IDE hard drive. Good idea. I can probably find one laying around at the shop.

How large of an IDE hard drive can a A4000 support? I know on PC's there are various stepping stones of size limitations... 512MB, 8GB, 40GB, etc... where the firmware cant handle larger drives... Is this a problem on an A4000?

Also, I have seen several mentions of using ATAPI Iomega Zip drives... Is it as easy as plugging it in and *poof* it works?

Thanks,
Brad
