A4000 Floppy (and other Drives) Question

[irishmike]

Greetings all:

I was under the misguided perception that you could use a regular PC (Chinon) floppy in your A4000 system.  Since I have learned that this is not the case without modification, I thought I would ask you guys -- Can a regular old Chinon HD floppy drive be modified to work in an Amiga?  If so, how do you do the modification?

BTW:  If this is not possible, I would like to find one of these -- just add a floppy to list of parts ;-)

While I am at it, regular IDE drives should work in the case for the CD(RW) and Hard Disk?  Are there size limitations like the 4GB idea?  Appreciate any help on this.

Thanks,

Mike

Looked an aminet and don't see this hack listed, perhaps I am looking for it in the wrong place.  I searched on hard/hack and got 4 results.  None seems to refer to floppies.

Thanks for the help and please advise on the exact file name of the hack.

Hello All:

Back in July, I asked about the hard drive.  I have my A4000 up and running and have a 4 GB hard disk to put in.  I also have a 20 GB hard disk that would be cool to install.  I am hoping to run the CD-ROM and Hard drive off the IDE chain.

Someone mentioned being able to run a higher capacity hard drive with a driver, I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a good driver so I could perhaps run my 20 GB in the 4k :-)

Thanks,

Mike
